In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge about the applicability of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as UV/H2O2, Fenton and photo-Fenton for removal of textile dyes from wastewater and the effect of operational parameters (initial dye concentration, initial H2O2 concentration, initial Fe2+ concentration and initial pH) on these processes. Numerous studies have reported the use of AOPs for degradation of textile dyes, and the results show that they are very effective. By comparing the results of the previous studies, it seems that the photo- Fenton process is more efficient than the Fenton and UV/H2O2 process.

Keywords: advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), textile dyes, wastewater treatment, UV/H2O2, Fenton, photo-Fenton
