Abstract :
Organic contaminants, such as dye pollutants, pharmaceutical compounds, pesticides, etc. are increasingly found in water sources, and therefore need to be controlled by modern water treatment technologies. Advanced oxidation processes are often used as an effective method to remove organic contaminants. UV/H2O2 process has shown acceptable results for removing a wide range of mentioned pollutants. In this paper, the efficiency of photolysis and UV/H2O2 processes in removing organic contaminants were reviewed, and then, the significant results obtained were reported.
