Advanced oxidation is an advanced water treatment process used for treating impaired drinking water sources, among other applications. Commonly, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used with ultraviolet (UV) light to create hydroxyl radicals that oxidize ...
Landfill sites, that are the ultimate depository of solid waste stream in most societies, have the potential to generate leachate containing a complex mixture of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) such as pharmaceutical compounds, plasticizer...

Description
It is known that wastewater treatment plants are one of the major routes through which pharmaceuticals enter the environment. The following work investigated the effect of previously unrecognized sources of pharmaceuticals that enter water resourc...
Conventional drinking water resources are not a sustainable solution to supply the rapidly growing populations in traditionally arid states. These areas, as well as others around the world, are increasingly reliant on recycling treated municipal e...
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in water treatment utilizes chemical oxidation to react with and promote the degradation of trace contaminants present in wastewater. Hydroxyl radicals (OH•) generated in AOPs are highly reactive and nonselectiv...
