Advanced Oxidation Processes and their Application in the Petroleum Industry: A review

This paper describes a series of AOPs, analysing the aspects related to each type of process, such as the interference of external agents and the ideal operating conditions, based on the analysis and comparison of different studies in the area. In addition, several applied AOP studies on treatment of oil wastewater and on remediation of soil contaminated with oil or its derivatives are presented.
