Abstract:
Advanced oxidation technologies and activated carbon fiber (ACF) adsorption are promising for the remediation of water contaminated with organic compounds that are not easily removed. This review provides a general overview of the research and development of advanced oxidation technologies, including photocatalytic oxidation with TiO
2-loaded ACFs, plasma oxidation, ozonation, Fenton oxidation and electrochemical oxidation. The target pollutants, treatment performance and degradation mechanisms for these technologies are detailed. ACFs play a key role in the enrichment of organic pollutants near TiO
2 active sites and a combination of ACF adsorption with TiO
2 photocatalytic oxidation creates a synergistic effect in water treatment.
