摘要：Sustainability of the environment has become a focus; hence the need for improvement and monitoringof textile waste water discharges, for which major concern is color. Color in textile dyeing and finishing effluents is asa result of large amounts of dye stuffs left during the dyeing stages and inefficient dyeing processes often resulting inunfixed forms. Waste water from Textile and dyeing industries contain many pollutants, making it high in organic andinorganic chemical content, total organic carbon (TOC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and especially, strong color.It is thus difficult to be degraded by the conventional methods; hence the use of the advanced oxidation processes(AOPs). The advanced oxidative process is certainly not a very new treatment method as it has been studied and usedextensively; however, hope remains for possible improvement, hence this review. AOPs are being researched morewith a view to improve on the treatability of effluents and the hope to use the method for the complete mineralizationof dyes. Although they are very effective in complete mineralization of pollutants, AOPs may be very expensive whenused solely.
