Abstract:
:Nowadays the use of conventional wastewater treatment methods is becoming increasingly challenging mainly due to the presence of organic matter in wastewater. Therefore, an emerging technology is needed to deal with these highly concentrated and toxic non-biodegradable organic matters. In the last few decades, advanced oxidation process (AOP) has emerged to treat wastewaters discharged from industries. Recently, researchers have shown interest to use the application of ultrasound (US) in photocatalysis, i.e. sonophotocatalysis, to improve the performance of the treatment process in the degradation of organic and inorganic contaminants in aqueous streams. Sonophotocatalysis is the combination of the use of ultraviolet (UV) and US.
