        abstract = {The treatment of dye wastewater is significant both due to its toxic constituents as well as the considerable contribution of organic material. This paper comparatively evaluates the three treatment methods: Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI) treatment, and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) in order to determine which one would be most appropriate in minimizing pollutants while recovering energy. Since AOPs are researched for their characteristic to degrade complex dye molecules, the removal ability of residual contaminants by ZVI is evaluated through chemical reduction. AD's biogas production is considered as source of renewable energy. Analysis of each process includes the effectiveness of the treatment method, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability of the methods. The outcomes indicate that even though AOPs diminish the intensity of color and COD, improvement in post-AOP removal of contaminant by ZVI increases synergism between anaerobic digestion, AOPs, and ZVI through maximum energy recovery. Results and discussion Anaerobic digestion combined with AOPs and ZVI enhances the recovery of energy to its maximum extent through the biogas product. Conclusion Hybrid systems compounded together provide the best possible performance, but each method is not of equal merit due to specific treatment targets. This comparison leads toward sustainable wastewater management and renewable energy generation.},
