Abstract

Ultrasound waves have been widely used in the field of organic wastewater treatment due to their mechanical, thermal, and chemical effects derived from their cavitation effect. Many researchers have combined ultrasound waves with other organic wastewater treatment methods because they have the potential to offset the disadvantages of other methods. In recent years, many authors within the literature have reviewed the application of ultrasound combined with a certain wastewater treatment method. In this review, we introduce the working mechanism of ultrasound in the treatment of organic wastewater and then examine the synergistic effects of ultrasound with other organic wastewater treatment methods based on various applications, indicating a strong synergistic effect between ultrasound and other wastewater treatment methods. Subsequently, we introduce typical ultrasound-enhanced organic wastewater treatment equipment and propose some possible developmental directions for ultrasound in the treatment of organic wastewater.
