Combined chemical-biological treatment of wastewater containing refractory compounds

The combination of chemical and biological processes represents an effective and cost attractive method alternative to either chemical or biological means in wastewater treatments. The combined chemical and biological treatment processes have been successfully applied in treatment of wastewater cont...
