3. Advanced oxidation processes
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) were defined by Glaze, back in 1987, as water treatment processes operating at near-ambient temperature and pressure, involving the production of a more powerful secondary oxidant from a primary oxidant . Their aim is to achieve high oxidation yields for hard-to-oxidize pollutants, even when using ozone, the reagent with the highest redox potential of all oxidants traditionally used in water treatment.
Many advanced oxidation processes are envisaged. In general, they involve chemical, photochemical or catalytic activation of ozone, hydrogen peroxide...
