FORERO, Jorge-Enrique; ORTIZ, Olga-Patricia  e  RIOS, Fabian. Advanced oxidation processes as phenol treatment in industrial sewage. C.T.F Cienc. Tecnol. Futuro [online]. 2005, vol.3, n.1, pp.97-109. ISSN 0122-5383.

Although more efficient and economical processes for the treatment of sewage have been developed in recent years, the challenge they are facing - due to the greater knowledge of the effect that pollutants have on the environment, the greater consumption of water because of the development of human and industrial activity and the reduction of fresh water sources- indicate that we are far from attaining the final solution. This affirmation specially applies to the pollutants which are resistant to biological treatment processes, such as most of the aromatic compounds found in sewage of the petrochemical industries. In this document, the processes known as advanced oxidation will be explored. Theses have been reported as having the greatest potential in the treatment of these pollutants. Likewise the results of the application of these technologies with waters typical of the petroleum industry will be reported. These have previously been evaluated with processes of typical ozonization.

Palavras-chave : ozone; advanced oxidation processes; phenol; waste water.
