Content Summary | Chemical oxidation technologies are often employed for the treatment of complex industrial
effluents that are not amenable to conventional biological methods. The role of chemical oxidation depends
on the treatment objectives andmay vary from partial remediation to complete mineralization. In the case
of partial treatment, chemical oxidation aims at the selective removal of the more bioresistant fractions
and their conversion to readily biodegradable intermediates that can subsequently be treated biologically.
Coupling chemical pre-oxidation with biological post-treatment is conceptually beneficial as it can lead
to increased overall treatment efficiencies compared with the efficiency of each individual stage. This
paper reviews recent developments and highlights some important aspects that need to be addressed when
considering such integrated schemes. | en |
