This volume provides comprehensive up-to-date descriptions of the principles and practices of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) for groundwater remediation based on a decade of intensive research, development, and demonstrations, and lessons learned from commercial field applications.

This book focuses on present state of the art chemical oxidation technologies with regard to various wastewater applications. It is a valuable aid to engineers and scientists engaged in developing cost-effective solutions to complex water quality problems in today's regulatory environment.

Volume six of the proceedings considers the application of chemical oxidation to environmental problems, particularly treating wastewater, groundwater, hazardous waste, and air. Among the 22 topics are the design of an advanced oxidation process for decolorizing reactive dye waste using Fenton's reagent, a comparison of chlorine and bromine for chemical oxidation and disinfection, chlorine dioxide for disinfecting secondary effluent, oxidizing secondary alcohols and sulfides by halamine polymers, the wet-air oxidation of phenolic compounds, and the catalyzed chemical oxidation of VOCs.

Chemical oxidation technologies are rapidly maturing into a wide variety of processes for the treatment of difficult waste streams, including wastewater, groundwater, hazardous waste and air. This volume is the fifth proceedings of the international symposium on chemical oxidation processes applied to environmental problems.

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Waste Water Treatment: Emerging Green Chemical Technology is a complete resource covering the fundamentals and applications of all Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). This book presents the most up-to-date research on AOPs and makes the argument that AOPs offer an eco-friendly method of wastewater treatment. In addition to an overview of the fundamentals and applications, it details the reactive species involved, along with sections on reactor designs, thus helping readers understand and implement these methods. - Presents in-depth coverage of all types of Advanced Oxidation Processes, including Super Critical Water Oxidation, Photo-Fenton and Like Processes - Includes a fundamental review, applications, reactive species and reactor designs - Reviews applications across waste types, including industrial waste, domestic and municipal sewage, and hospital wastes
