The elimimation of mefenamic acid has been carried out by photolysis, ozonation, adsorption onto activated carbon (AC) and combinations of the previous single systems (O3+AC and O3+UV). The results obtained indicate that mefenamic acid is not photo-reactive, showing a relatively low quantum yield of the order of 6 x 10 mol Einstein. Application of ozone to mefenamic aqueous solutions instantane...

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) using ozone, H2O2, ultrasound (US), ultraviolet radiation (UV), Fenton’s reagent (FeII+H2O2) alone or in combination involving hydroxyl radicals are considered as possible methods of clean and ecologically safe remedial treatment for the degradation of organics. In the present study, comparison of kinetics of photochemical, sonochemical and chemical oxidation ...

Soil pollution has become a substantial environmental problem which is amplified by overpopulation in different regions. In this review, the state of art regarding use Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for soil remediation presented. This review aims to provide an outline recent technologies developed decontamination polluted soils using AOPs. Depending on process, these techniques have been ...

Considering the nature of organic contaminants in water, methods their oxidative decomposition seem to be most appropriate for removal from contaminated water. There are a lot chemical oxidation, however, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) suitable technologies removal. AOPs belong group processes that efficiently oxidize compounds towards harmless inorganic products such as water or carbon di...
