Book cover Green Technologies for Wastewater Treatment

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

The discharge of man-made chemicals into aquatic environment creates an ever-increasing challenge to scientists and engineers. These chemicals can harm living organisms even at below ppb levels and hence only the most effective treatment processes should be employed for their destruction and detoxification. The application of Photo-Fenton process and complimentary treatment systems (H2O2/UV-C and Fenton’s reagent) for the degradation of two industrial pollutant categories with significant endocrine disrupting properties, namely the alkyl phenols nonyl and octyl phenol as well as bisphenol A, has been discussed and reviewed in the present chapter.
