Apprehensions over the globally disseminated surfactants are growing because these surfactants are environmentally tenacious and bioaccumulative. A solution for the removal of these recalcitrant surfactants has involved wide-ranging examinations in the field of advanced oxidation processes (AOP). In these chemical oxidation processes, reaction mechanisms include the change in structure, and chemical properties of the organic substances, where molecules break into smaller fragments. Unlike conventional methods, chemical oxidation processes entirely eliminate the surfactants by mineralizing and breaking down the organic compound to form carbon dioxide and water. © Research India Publications.
