Contaminants in textile wastewater are characterized as Recalcitrant, which usually contain high concentrations of organic compounds, expressed as high COD, a varied range of pH, low biodegradability, and the presence of colors. Such waste is difficult to treat by conventional wastewater treatment methods because the majority of the dyes present in textile wastewater are non-biodegradable and have a negative effect on microorganisms. In this study two advanced oxidation processes namely photo Fenton and H2O2/UV process investigated to compare their pollutant removal efficiency from live textile wastewater in terms of color removal and reduction of COD. The result shows that even though both processes are capable of removing pollutants from the wastewater. Photo Fenton process has better reduction efficiency compared to H2O2/UV with a deviation of 19.4 % in decolorization and 25.6% in COD Reduction.
