N2 - This paper addresses the process interactions from combining integrated processes (such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), biological operations, air stripping, etc.). AOPs considered include: Fenton's reagent, ultraviolet light, titanium dioxide, ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2), sonication/acoustic cavitation, among others. A critical review of the technical literature has been performed, and the data has been analyzed in terms of the processes being additive, synergistic, or antagonistic. Predictions based on the individual unit operations are made and compared against the behavior of the combined unit operations. The data reported in this paper focus primarily on treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) and chlorinated solvents. The kinetic data included in this study are obtained both from the technical literature and from research investigations of authors. The results of this study are discussed in this paper. Our first order kinetic rate constants are comparable with other researchers, although our values seem to be slightly higher than the previously reported values. Our air stripping values are significantly higher than the volatilization rate constants previously reported; this is due to the earlier study conducting volatilization studies under quiescent conditions.
