Abstract:Poorly biodegradable compounds reduce the efficiency of biological effluent treatment processes. These are often encountered in pharmaceutical and speciality chemical industries. Advanced oxidation technologies (AOT) are appropriate for the conversion of such compounds into biodegradable entities. Tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, and pyridine are heterocyclic compounds that are known to be recalcitrant and nonbiodegradable. AOT were investigated for the destruction of these model compounds. Two forms of AOT, UV-O… Show more
