Phenolic compounds are highly toxic in nature even if it is present in very low concentration. Industrial wastes from petroleum refineries, plastic manufacturing plants, coal carbonisation and pharmaceutical industries generally contains phenolic compounds which must be treated. Advanced Oxidation Process has emerged as an answer when traditional methods cannot manage degradation of phenolic compounds. In this review, different Advanced Oxidation processes such as Ozonation, Fenton, Catalytic wet air oxidation, Photocatalysis and biological treatments of waste containing phenolic compounds are discussed. Also hybrid methods for the degradation of waste water treatment have been discussed. It has been observed that the synergy in the efficiency in the combined process is due to the additional generation of hydroxyl radicals. Overall it can be said that the advanced oxidation process can be effectively used for the degradation of phenolic compounds when used as individual or hybrid process.
