Kinetic Modeling of Advanced Oxidation Processes Using Microreactors: Challenges and Opportunities for Scale-Up

With the increasing number of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater treatment plants, there will be a stringent need for rapid and convenient development tertiary processes such as advanced oxidation (AOPs). Microreactors offer great opportunity ultrafast safe intrinsic kinetic parameters determination, by-products identification, ecotoxicity assessment. Despite considerable potential these devices, they have been mostly used catalyst screening or pseudo-first order kinetics not allowing knowledge transfer across scales. This work offers an overview adoption micro- photo-microreactors investigations field AOPs to guide future research efforts.
