Over the years, urbanization has caused the quality of the water to decline gradually. The production of wastewater has been steadily rising alongside the growth of numerous businesses, including medicines, textiles, processed foods, and many more. Organic molecules from a variety of sources make up the majority of contaminants in wastewater. Some of these chemical molecules are not biodegradable, and it is challenging for anaerobic bacteria to break them down entirely. Because of the molecular structure of them, they can be quite persistent. Several advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been studied to remediate wastewater that contains trace organic chemicals (TrOCs). These include ozonation, Fenton oxidation, catalytic wet air oxidation, and photocatalytic oxidation. AOPs have excellent efficiencies, quick oxidation rates, and no secondary pollutants. Each AOP adheres to a particular mechanism in specific circumstances. In this article, we have comprehensively reviewed the underlying mechanism, and factors affecting oxidative pollutant degradation efficiency.
Key words: advanced oxidation process / organic pollutant / photocatalysis / ozonation / Fenton oxidation
