Mineralization of palm oil mill effluent by advanced oxidation processes: A review on current trends and the way forward

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is regarded as deleterious to the environment, primarily owing to the substantial volume of waste it produces during palm oil extraction. In terms of contaminant composition, POME surpasses the pollutant content typically found in standard municipal sewage, therefore re...
