Conspectus Because of the deterioration of global water quality, the occurrence of chemical
and microbial contaminants in water raises serious concerns for the health of the population …

This study provides an overview of established processes as well as recent progress in
emerging technologies for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In addition to a discussion …

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are increasingly applied in water and wastewater
treatment. Understanding the role of reactive species using probes and quenchers is one of …

Chemical oxidation using peracetic acid (PAA) can be enhanced by activation with the
formation of reactive species such as organic radicals (R–O•) and HO•. Thermal activation is …

Chemical oxidants have been applied in water treatment for more than a century, first as
disinfectants and later to abate inorganic and organic contaminants. The challenge of …

The UV/chlorine process is an emerging advanced oxidation process (AOP) used for the
degradation of micropollutants. However, the radical chemistry of this AOP is largely …

The degradation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by the UV/H 2 O 2
and UV/chlorine processes was compared at practical concentrations in simulated drinking …

Many micropollutants are refractory to conventional wastewater/water treatment processes,
causing attention to their potential adverse effects on aquatic environment and human …

Oxidation and reduction reactions govern a wide range of biotic and abiotic processes.
Among these are advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and advanced reduction processes …

Utilities incorporating the potable reuse of municipal wastewater are interested in converting
from the UV/H2O2 to the UV/free chlorine advanced oxidation process (AOP). The AOP …
