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...
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...
The occurrence of algal blooms and the possibility of production of algal toxins and contamination of drinking water resources have become a significant concern worldwide. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are currently known as one of the most ...
