Abstract
In recent decades, enormous research efforts have been made on the development of promising, effective, and eco-friendly treatment technologies for the removal of recalcitrant toxic organic contaminants. Huge attention has been received on the treatment processes based on oxidative removal of organic pollutants through hydroxyl radicals generated by various electrochemical advanced oxidation processes.
This chapter reviews the fundamentals of various electrochemical advanced oxidation processes like anodic oxidation, electro-Fenton process, peroxi-coagulation, anodic-Fenton, Fered–Fenton process, hybrid processes including photo-electro-Fenton, solar photo-electro-Fenton, and sono-electro-Fenton process. It also reviews the electrochemical-based treatment of real effluents from different industries such as textile, paper mill industry, and tannery as well as domestic and urban effluents and landfill leachate. The strong potential of various electrochemical advanced oxidation processes indicated that these technologies can be demonstrated as the promising processes for the treatment of various real effluents to meet the regulatory norms.
