“…The potential use of combined treatment for alkaline and nearly neutral textile effluent of COD (632 < COD < 127 ppm), BOD (311 < BOD < 490 ppm), and turbidity (75-77%) at irradiation doses (<3 KGy) was investigated. It was found that the application of coagulation prior to irradiation enhanced the de-coloration performance [48]. Electron beam irradiation of simulated effluents that contains reactive dye (reactive yellow 15), size (starch), synthetic size (PVA), alkali, color, and pigment (pigment red 139) was studied [49].…”

“…As presented in the previous sections, the technical performance of the application of ionizing radiation technology in wastewater treatment is effective in disinfection and reduces the bio-refractory nature of several persistence organic pollutants. Several studies proved the economical feasibility of the e-beam and γ irradiation technologies [21,32,41,48,51,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. For e-beam technology, the capital costs include the accelerator price, building shield, conveyer, cooling and ventilation systems, and monitoring system [57].…”

“…For e-beam technology, the capital costs include the accelerator price, building shield, conveyer, cooling and ventilation systems, and monitoring system [57]. The capital cost of the e-beam accelerator is dependent on the power (P, kW) consumed to produce optimum dose (D, KGy) for specified plant flow rate (Q, m 3 /h) taking into account the utilization factor (ϕ) [48,60]:…”

Technological applications of nuclear science and technology in different sectors have proved their reliabilities and sustainability over decades. These applications have supported various human civilization needs, ranging from power generation to industrial, medical, and environmental applications. Environmental applications of radiation sources are used to support decision making processes in many fields; including the detection and analysis of pollutant transport, water resources management, and treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters. This work reviewed recent advances in the research and applications of ionizing radiation in treating different wastewater effluents. The main objective of the work is to highlight the role of ionizing radiation technology in the treatment of complex wastewater effluents generated from various human activities and to address its sustainability. Results of both laboratory and industrial scale applications of this treatment technology have been reviewed, and information on operational safety of industrial irradiators, which affect the sustainability of this technology, has been summarized.
