The rise in population and industrialization accounts for the generation of a huge amount of wastewaters. The treatment of this wastewater is obligatory to safeguard the environment and various life forms. Conventional methods for high strength wastewater treatment coming out to be ineffective. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for such wastewater treatment proved to be very effective particularly for the removal of various refractory compounds present in the wastewater. Ozone based AOPs with its high oxidizing power and excellent disinfectant properties is considered to be an attractive choice for the elimination of a large spectrum of refractory compounds. Furthermore, it enhances the biodegradability of wastewaters after treatment which favors subsequent biological treatments. In this review, a detailed overview of the AOPs (like the Fenton process, photocatalysis, Electrochemical oxidation, wet air oxidation, and Supercritical water oxidation process) has been discussed explicitly focusing on ozone-based AOPs (like O₃, O₃/H₂O₂, O₃/UV, Ozone/Activated carbon process, Ozone/Ultrasound process, O₃/UV/H₂O₂ process). This review also comprises the involved mechanisms and applications of various ozone-based AOPs for effective municipal/industrial wastewaters and landfill leachate treatment. Process limitations and rough economical analysis were also introduced. The conclusive remarks with future research directions also underlined. It was found that ozonation in combination with other effective AOPs and biological methods enhances treatment efficacies. This review will serve as a reference document for the researchers working in the AOPs field particularly focusing on ozone-based AOPs for wastewater treatment and management systems.

The efficiency and mechanism of electrochemical phenol oxidation using persulfate (PS) and nanosized zero-valent iron (NZVI) were investigated. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for phenol removal by the electrochemical/PS/NZVI ($1mA^*cm^{-2}/12$ mM/6 mM) process was $0.81h^{-1}$, which was higher than those of the electrochemical/PS and PS/NZVI processes. The electrochemical/PS/NZVI system removed 1.5 mM phenol while consuming 6.6 mM PS, giving the highest stoichiometric efficiency (0.23) among the tested systems. The enhanced phenol removal rates and efficiencies observed for the electrochemical/PS/NZVI process were attributed to the interactions involving the three components, in which the electric current stimulated PS activation, NZVI depassivation, phenol oxidation, and PS regeneration by anodic or cathodic reactions. The electrochemical/PS/NZVI process effectively removed phenol oxidation products such as hydroquinone and 1,4-benzoquinone. Since the electric current enhances the reactivities of PS and NZVI, process performance can be optimized by effectively manipulating the current.

In this study, the applicability of reduction-oxidation-linked treatment was evaluated for nitrobenzene and a by-product by analyzing the reaction kinetics. Nitrobenzene showed very low reactivity to persulfate that was activated using various methods. Nitrobenzene effectively reacted through the reduction process using Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI). However, aniline, a toxic substance, was produced as a by-product. Reduction-oxidation-linked treatment is a method that can allow the oxidative degradation of aniline after reducing nitrobenzene to aniline. The experimental results show improved reactivity and complete decomposition of the by-product. Improved reactivity and decomposition of the by-product were observed even under conditions in which the reduction-oxidation reaction was induced simultaneously. No activator was injected for persulfate activation in the process of reducing oxidant linkage, and the activation reaction was induced by ferrous iron eluted from the ZVI. This indicates that this method can be implemented relatively simply.

We proposed AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) using thermal oxidation for NiOx passivation. Auger electron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and pulsed I-V were used to study oxidation features. The oxidation process diffused Ni and O into the AlGaN barrier and formed NiOx on the surface. The breakdown voltage of the proposed device was 1520 V while that of the conventional device was 300 V. The gate leakage current of the proposed device was 3.5 ${\mu}A/mm$ and that of the conventional device was 1116.7 ${\mu}A/mm$. The conventional device exhibited similar current in the gate-and-drain-pulsed I-V and its drain-pulsed counterpart. The gate-and-drain-pulsed current of the proposed device was about 56 % of the drain-pulsed current. This indicated that the oxidation process may form deep states having a low emission current, which then suppresses the leakage current. Our results suggest that the proposed process is suitable for achieving high breakdown voltages in the GaN-based devices.

The effect of ozone oxidation on bio-degradability of leachate was studied. Ozone oxidation process was used as pre-treatment process to enhance performance of biological process in treating landfill leachate. Optimum ozone injection rate and contact time in this experiment was $160{\;}mg{\;}O_/{\ell}{\cdot}hr$ and 45 minutes, respectively. Bio-degradability was enhanced 5.08% by ozone oxidation. The ratio of ozone demand/DOC concentration was $0.049~0.091{\;}mg{\;}O_3/mg{\;}DOC$. The increase of bio-degradability depending on ozone injection rate(D) and contact time(T) can be expressed as follows ; The rate of bio-degradation of DOC was increased proportionally with the increase of ozone injection rate and contact time irrespective of landfill site age. The increase of bio-degradability by ozone addition was not satisfactory. It is hard to expect significant increase in bio-degradability by ozone treatment only. Thus, it is evaluated that ozone oxidation can not increase biodegradability significantly in concentrated wastewater composed of complex organic compound such as leachate.

The effect of ozone oxidation on biodegradability of leachate was studied. Ozone oxidation process was used as pre-treatment process to enhance performance of biological process in treating landfill leachate. Optimum ozone dosing rate and contact time in this experiment was $160mg\;O_3/L$ hr and 45 minutes, respectively. Biodegradability was enhanced 5.08% by ozone oxidation. The ratio of ozone demand/DOC concentration was $0.049{\sim}0.091mg\;O_3/mg$ DOC. The increase of biodegradability depending on ozone dosing rate(D) and contact time(T) can be expressed as follows ; ${\Delta}E=0.00479{\cdot}D^{0.773}{\cdot}T^{0.800}$ The biodegradation rate of DOC was increased proportionally with the increase of ozone dosing rate and contact time irrespective of landfill site age. The increase of biodegradability by ozone addition was not satisfactory. It is hard to expect significant increase in biodegradability by ozone treatment only. Thus, it is evaluated that ozone oxidation can not increase biodegradability significantly in concentrated wastewater composed of complex organic compound such as leachate.

This study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of the oxidation process of meat. In the instrumental color, redness, yellowness, and chroma showed significant differences during storage period (P<0.05), whereas hue angle increased (P<0.05), but no significant difference in lightness(P>0.05). The results of TBARS increased significantly during storage period (P<0.05). The thiol and carbonyl contents increased significantly during storage period(P<0.05). Metabolites analysis showed that lactic acid, proline, phenylalanine, mannose, talose, lysine, and tyrosine were significantly different with the storage periods (P<0.05). All the samples used in the experiment were able to confirm that sample went through normal oxidation process with indicators and components were increased or decreased. Further research is needed to study the correlation between metabolite materials.

원자력발전소 2차 계통수에 사용되는 에탄올아민이 포함된 오염수는 복수탈염설비의 이온교환수지에서 포집된다. 이온교환수지의 재생과정에서 에탄올아민과 다량의 이온성 물질이 포함된 강산성 폐수가 발생된다. 본 연구는 이온교환수지에서 발생하는 폐수를 처리하기 위해서 자외선 산화방법을 적용하였다. 산화방법은 흡착제를 함께 사용한 자외선 산화와 흡착제를 적용하지 않고 자외선 산화만 적용할 수 있는 장치를 개발하여 자외선 산화방법에서 흡착제가 폐수처리 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 연구 결과는 입상활성탄을 흡착제로 적용한 UV/GAC산화공정은 pH 12.8에서 COD 제거 효율은 71.3%로 나타났다. 동일한 pH 조건에서 흡착제를 적용하지 않은 UV 산화공정보다 COD 제거 효율이 21.8% 높게 나타났다. T-N의 제거는 pH 12.8일 때 88.6%로 흡착제를 적용하지 않은 UV산화공정보다 18.0% 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 입상활성탄이 에탄올아민을 고정시켜서, UV 램프에 의한 산화공정의 효율을 높이는 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 UV/GAC 흡착산화공정이 에탄올아민 함유 폐수의 처리에 더 효율적이다.

This study was aimed to investigate treatment feasibility of leachate from D landfill that is located in gyr대ungbuk. From the analytical results of leachate, organic and nonbiodegradable matters were contained in high concentration. Thus chemical treatment was introduced to degrade nonbiodegradable matters in pre or post biological process. Two types of Fenton oxidation were adapted in this study. The first one is pre treatment process before biological treatment. The second one is post treatment process after biological treatment. The optimal conditions of both treatment methods were investigated as follows. In case of pre treatment process, the optimal conditions appeared in $Fe^{+2}/H_2O_2$(mmol/mmol): 0.1, $H_2O_2/CODcr$(mg/mg): 27.0, pH: 3 and reaction time: 2hrs. On the other hand, in case of post treatment process, the optimal conditions appeared in $Fe^{2+}$(mmol/mmol): 0.14, $H_2O_2/COD_{cr}$(mg/mg): 57.4, pH: 3 and reaction time: 1.25hrs. In the above optimal conditions, high COD removal was obtained in pre and post treatment process. Also it can expect that Fenton oxidation converted nonbiodegradable matters into biodegradable matters.
