Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) applied at a post-treatment stage relative to biological oxidation of industrial wastewaters present a class of promising abatement strategies able to solve the problem of residual refractory,often hazardous organic pollutants. The application of the AOPs is,however,restricted by drawbacks including high energy and agents consumption,low reaction rate,lack of experience in application and,as a result,modest development in full-scale applications concerning the wastewater treatment. Hence,this paper reviews the relationship of technology with improving material properties,increasing active species,stimulating the free radicals and accelerating reaction rate on the foundation of different energy supplying modes of various physical fields,targeting the mechanism of minimization of chemicals usage with degradation efficiency. It comes to the conclusion that the optimization of synergism among functional materials,motivating active species and trans-boundary mass transferring is the most crucial. It points out the reasonable regions for the interaction of physics,chemistry and medium. In addition,the report emphasizes the principles of transforming energy and degradation efficiency of molecules resulted from electron transferring in the latest achievements of oxidants,catalysts,electrochemical processes with applied electromagnetic(UV-light,microwave) and elastic(acoustic,ultrasonic) fields. The difference of chemical reactions under diverse physical fields depends on the absorption of medium for energy and electron transfer. Reactor engineering aspects and,ultimately,the economic efficiency of AOPs are considered. The difficulty is the non-linear extension and the high energy and agents consumption applied in pollutants of unit weight,while it is effective for refractory matters. The review serves a guidance among the state-of-the-art technological solutions for AOPs application to the treatment of wastewaters. Finally,it proposes the direction of future technology with respect to the mechanism innovation,energy reduction and processes optimization.
