Dyeing wastewater contains recalcitrant organics which can not be easily treated by conventional biological treatment. Therefore it has to be treated by other advanced oxidation process in order to remove COD and Color more efficiently. Fenton oxidation process is one of the most commonly applied processes in removal of COD and color for the dyeing wastewater. However it increase the treatment cost and the production of sludge by the use of the excessive chemical reagent. Ozonation is not suitable in Single treatment process because it is not effective in organics removal compared with Color removal. The purpose of this research in order to evaluate the comparable removal efficiency of COD and color by the combination of advanced oxidation processes for the dyeing wastewater. The sequential treatment processes of Fenton process and ozonation was more effective to remove organics and color than ozonation and Fenton process. The result of Fenton process for the pretreatment presented as the 81% removal of organics whereas ozonation process for the pretreatent presented as the 22.1% removal of organics. The removal of colour was higher as 81.3% for the ozonation as the pretreatment than 77.7% for the Fenton process as the pretreatment.

The objective of this study was to remove organics and color in livestock wastewater using coagulation and Fenton oxidation process. After coagulation process as $1^{st}$ treatment, organics in $1^{st}$ treatment water were removed by using OH radical produced in Fenton oxidation process. Removal efficiencies of $COD_{Mn}$ and color were 87.2% and 95.7% separately. At that time, the ratio of $Fe^{2+}/H_2O_2$ was 0.8~1.0, and range of reaction pH was effective at the pH of 3.5~3.8. The Reaction time of 120min more than 60min or 90min was sufficient in Fenton process. Removal efficiency of organics was higher two- or multi-stage treatment than one-stage treatment.

Visibility studies are conducted in oxidizing organic compounds with ozone to investigate the oxidation in the waste and sewage water. While the ozone has been used as one of the major oxidation of the waste and sewage water, it is not effective to distroy the polluted organic compounds with the practical concentration in waste water treatment. The result are shown follows ; 1. Upon oxidizing organic compound with ozone, the former is much oxidized under three meters and the latter under the ABS waste water. 2. In case of being oxidized organics waste water with ozone codis, much removed under medicine and chemical waste water than anothers of primary treatment process. 3. The final treated waste water of oxidizing organics is higher than that of filtered water or sedimented water. Specially in organics waste water the colority after oxidizing decrease from 95% to 99.9% this suggests that any organic compounds produced during ozonation night be dissdved in the final treated waste water.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the partial oxidation of the biological treatment plant effluents using Fenton's reagent as a pretreatment step prior to a tertiary biological oxidation of these effluents. Fenton's reagent was evaluated as a pretreatment process for inhibitory or refractory organics. Based on the Fenton oxidation system, the petrochemical wastewater treatment plant effluent was shown to have significant improvement in toxicity after oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. For example, at ranee of 42 ∼ 184 mg/L COD of petrochemical plant effluents, the COD removal efficiencies were from 38.2% to 60.1% after reaction with hydrogen peroxide 200 mg/L and Fe2+ 100 mg/L and reaction time was 30 minutes. The total TOC reduction were about 15.8∼22.4% with same test condition and difference between the overall removal rate and BOD/COD ratio after Fenton's oxidation estabilished in the biodegradation and otherwise meets the discharge standard or reuse for cooling tower make-up water.

To treat certain wastewater that has alcohol and phenol, we performed the ozone electrolysis by using the titanium electrode. In this experiment, we examined decomposition voltage of organics, time for electrolysis, and removal efficiency of organics. In addition we compared the ozone oxidation electrolysis. The followings are results; 1. When it comes to the alcohol treatment in wastewater, ozone electrolysis showed higher removal efficiency than ozone oxidation or electrolysis. 2. After comparing the decomposition rate of methylalcohol, ethylalcohol, and prophylalcohol in ozone electrolysis, we knew the fact that increasing carbon number made the decomposition rate slow. 3. According to the treatment of alcohol by ozone electrolysis, decomposition voltage was 50V, time for electrolysis was three hours, and treatment acidity was neutral (pH 6.5 - 8.1). 4. Ozone electrolysis was effective to the phenol treatment. When we treated phenol by using ozone electrolysis for three hours, TOC treatment efficiency was 95%. However, ozone oxidation just showed 45% treatment efficiency.

This study was carried out the simultaneous removal or organics and Cr(VI) in aqueous suspensions of phtocatalyst under circular type reactor and UV light illumination. In this experiment, comparison on the removal of Cr(VI) by photoreduction using UV light, photocatalyst adsorption using TiO2, ZnO, and FeCl3 as photocatalyst, and phtocatalysis using UV light with photocatalysts as well as the effect of experimental parameters such as phtocatalyst dosage, a kinds of organics and their concentration was examined. The major results of this study were as follows; 1. It was found that photocatalyst adsorption and phtocatalysis were applicable to the removal of Cr(VI), and Cr(VI) was more effectively eliminated by TiO2 than ZnO, and FeCl3. 2. phtocatalytic removal efficiency of Cr (VI) increased with increasing phtocatalyst dosage. However, over 1.0g/l of phtocatalyst dosage, the efficiency reached a plateau. 3. phtocatalytic removal of Cr(VI) was enhanced by addition of organics such as salicylic acid, mandelic acid, EDTA, and citric acid, and phtocatalytic oxidation of organics were also observed. 4. It was found that the simultaneous removal of organics and Cr(VI) using phtocatalysis was possible.

Industrial wastewater often contains a number of recalcitrant organic contaminants. These contaminants are hardly degradable by biological wastewater treatment processes, which requires a more powerful treatment method based on chemical oxidation. Advanced oxidation technology (AOT) has been extensively studied for the treatment of nonbiodegradable organics in water and wastewater. Among different AOTs developed up to date, ozonation and the Fenton process are the representative technologies that widely used in the field. Based on the traditional ozonation and the Fenton process, several modified processes have been also developed to accelerate the production of reactive radicals. This article reviews the chemistry of ozonation and the Fenton process as well as the cases of application of these two AOTs to industrial wastewater treatment. In addition, research needs to improve the cost efficiency of ozonation and the Fenton process were discussed.

Gravity pressure vessels find their use in the wet oxidation of sewage sludge, which can be defined as the oxidation of organic and inorganic substances in an aqueous solution or suspension by means of oxygen or air at elevated pressures and temperatures. Numerical analyses were carried out for investigating the flow characteristics and wet air oxidation in the reaction vessel with various conditions such as supply oxidation and the supply positions of oxidation, etc. Wet air oxidation is promoted in the vicinity of bottom in the reactor with increase of oxygen supply. Also, it is the best condition to the oxidation supply position of 150 m and oxidation flow of 0.06 kg/s in the GPV reactor as the remnant of sludge and creation of organic acids.

Counterflow oxidation was developed and evaluated for treatment of organics that adsorbed in/on granular activated carbon(GAC). This reaction is a method that destructs and removes organics adsorbed, at the same time, regenerates waste carbon, uti lizing a self-sustained flame which propagates itself ina direction counter to the oxygen flow. The results showed that the mass loss of carbon and flam temperature were strongly dependent on the flow rate of oxyen, adsorptive capability of regenerated carbon completely was recovered, as well as destrution and removal efficiency of thermally stable PCBs was achieved with the value of better than 99.99%.

The oxidation ditch is an efficient, low cost form of treatment of domestic and many industrial waste. It has gained rapid acceptance because of its simplicity, low cost operation, ease of operation, simple mintenance and flexibiltiy. The objective of this investigation was to measure the removal of organics in an existing dithc that does not have return sludge and which is not preceded by primary sedimentation. To accomplish this objective, samples of the wastewater influent and effluent were collected from the wastewater treatment plant of Mansfield, Texas during practical training. These samples were collected over an extended period of time to obtain samples at various treatment temperatures. Two analytical tests, COD and suspended solids, were used to monitor the operation of the plant. The results show that high removal efficiencies were obtained at high temperatures, with the efficiency decreasing as the temperature decreased to approximatedly 16$^{\circ}C$, at which point the efficienty tmeperature relationship appeared to stabilize.
