The review explores the feasibility of simultaneous removal of pathogens and chemical pollutants by solar-enhanced advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The AOPs are based on in-situ generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), most notably hydroxyl radicals •OH, that are capable of destroying both pollutant molecules and pathogen cells. The review presents evidence of simultaneous removal of pa...

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) that produce highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (HO•) are attractive and promising water and wastewater treatment technologies because HO• can destroy a variety of organic compounds. However, background dissolved organic matter (DOM) significantly reduces the performance of AOPs by scavenging HO•. The conventional experimental approach to identifying ‘average’...

Increasing quantities of pharmaceutical pollutants have been found in aquatic ecosystems. The treatment has a major task that people committed to recent years. removal can be achieved by adsorption and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Compared with other carbon materials, biochar strong capacity persulfate activation ability, more importantly, is cheap easy obtain; thus, it higher economic ...

Ozone is a powerful antimicrobial agent that is suitable for application in food in the gaseous and aqueous states. Molecular ozone or its decomposition products (for example, hydroxyl radical) inactivate microorganisms rapidly by reacting with intracellular enzymes, nucleic material and components of their cell envelope, spore coats, or viral capsids. Combination of ozone with appropriate init...

Solid waste landfill (SWL) is known as a major pollution source contaminating air, water sources, and soil environment. The main hazard of SWL leachate including high organic matter nutrients. Recently, sulphate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) based on persulphate (PS) have been applied useful method for removal chemical oxygen demand (COD) ammonia from (LL). efficiency the...

ZnO and SnO2-doped ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by a sol–gel method for the first time. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the ZnO and SnO2-doped ZnO samples. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have proved very effective in treatment of the various hazardous organic pollutants such as surfactants and pharmaceuticals...

The use of AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes) for the treatment of industrial wastewaters has increased during the last years. The process efficiency depends on the treatment conditions (temperature, pH, reagent dosage etc.) and it is very difficult to predict it because the reaction mechanisms are strongly affected by the mutual relationship among these parameters and the wastewater compositi...

In recent years, many scientific studies have focused their efforts on quantifying the different types of pollutants that are not removed in wastewater treatment plants. Compounds emerging concern (CECs) been detected natural environments. The presence these compounds is new, but they may consequences future. These reach environment through various routes, such as wastewater. This review focuse...
