ABSTRACT

Modern industrial facilities combining several types of technologies have introduced a variety of highly toxic chemicals in industrial wastewater. The presence of emerging toxic compounds in wastewater has become a major worry due to their passive impact on all living organisms. The pollution of water resources systems is a direct result of significant recycling of a variety of wastewater, including sewage, untreated industrial wastewater, landfill, and agricultural pathway wastes. Activated carbon adsorption is used in several industries, including drinking water treatment and advanced industrial wastewater treatment for removing organic pollutants in line with rigorous regulations before discharging wastewater into surface water. The biological treatment method constitutes the use of microbes to remove natural organic compounds from wastewater. The process of catalytic wet air oxidation, or Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation, is a well-known wastewater treatment method and one that is gradually becoming prevalent in the treatment of various industrial toxic and refractory wastes.
