Aops: Assessment Of Mechanisms, Applications And Innovations In Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

This study examines the distribution of various processes in a specific field, likely related to advanced oxidation or chemical treatment methods, based on their prevalence in a representative dataset. The analysis reveals that ultrasonic processes dominate, accounting for 40% of the total share, highlighting their extensive applicability and effectiveness. Photocatalytic (12%) and ozonation (10%) methods also play significant roles, reflecting their importance in pollutant degradation and treatment processes. Hybrid approaches, such as photocatalysis combined with ultrasonic (9%) and Fenton + Ultrasonic (3%), indicate a growing interest in synergistic effects to enhance efficiency. Moderate contributions from biological sonochemical systems (7%), Fenton processes (5%), and general AOPs (5%) further emphasize the diversity of methods explored in the field. Meanwhile, specialized techniques like electrochemical (2%), photocatalytic ozonation (2%), and ozone-based advanced oxidation (2%) represent emerging or niche applications. This paper discusses the principles, types, and applications of AOPs, along with their advantages and limitations. Schematic diagrams and tables provide a visual understanding of the processes. These findings suggest a trend toward integrating multiple methods for improved performance, reinforcing the significance of advanced oxidation and hybrid chemical treatment techniques in scientific and industrial applications.
