Advanced Oxidation Processes for Micropollutant Remediation

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Micropollutant Remediation covers current state-of-the-art in advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for removal of micropollutants from industrial and pharmaceutical wastewater. It covers various AOP-based techniques like Fenton process, ozonation, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet radiation, electrochemical oxidation, ultrasonic irradiation, and other hybrid technologies. It focuses on aspects like impact of micropollutants on the ecosystems, different types of AOPs, their principles, applications, and challenges in implementing these techniques and their future perspectives.

Features:

Presents state-of-the-art in advanced oxidation processes (AOP) techniques along with hybrid technologies.

Covers latest advances in technological know-how for remediation of wastewater soiled with micropollutants.

Discusses pressing environmental pollution issues associated with AOPs needed for wastewater remediation.

Presents future perspective as well as techno-economic analysis in implementing various AOPs.

Reviews strategies to limit the micropollutants in water bodies.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical and industrial engineering, environmental science, and wastewater treatment.
