Feasibility of radiation technology for wastewater treatment

摘要

A wide range of remediation technologies have been employed for degradation of domestic, agricultural, industrial and municipal wastewater. Besides being economically attractive, each remediation technology has to be flexible enough to span a wide range of applications. Ionizing radiation is recognized valuable procedure for this rationale, as the radical initiated degradation can switch various pollutants into comparatively lesser disparaging substances. However, the lack of comparative data in studies using radiation technique is a main concern in further using up of this method for wastewater treatment. The main purpose of this review is to conclude the optimized radiation dose and procedures, in combination with other processes, to treat wastewater contaminated with low and high concentration of organic compounds. This review will highlight on studies carried out by various workers for exploiting ionizing and non-ionizing energies for the comparative competence in wastewater treatment.
