Sono-Hybrid Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment presents the latest technological advances research in sono-hybrid advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including an array of cutting-edge water treatments with depth analysis of mechanisms, viable applications, and the advantages and disadvantages of each processes. The book expands on, and illustrates, the principles and consequences of ultrasonic irradiation in liquids, which is an essential component in understanding the degradation mechanisms in sono-hybrid AOPs. This will be a valuable and effective reference for students, researchers, academics, and professionals working in water and wastewater treatment.
