| Description |
During the past several decades, the growth of population and the activities in industries
and agriculture have significantly altered the environment and reduced the availability of
natural resources. Moreover, some of the activities results in persistent and toxic organic
substrates and hazardous wastes as pollutants in wastewater effluent, underground
storage tanks and dump sites of industrial manufacture. Typical wastes of concern
include volatile organics, chlorinated volatile organics, dioxins, dibenzofurans,
pesticides, nitro-aromatic compounds, PCB's, chlorophenols, asbestos, heavy metals,
arsenic compounds, aviation fuel, solvents, and degreasing agents. Due to disposal of
these chemicals, the surrounding soil and underlying groundwater aquifers have become
contaminated resulting into lot of stress on the availability of fresh water. Therefore, the
control of chemical pollutants has received much attention. The removal of the pollutants
by complete mineralization of a wide range of chemical compounds has become relevant
and important. Innovative water and wastewater technologies are needed to meet the
challenges of deterioration of water quality
