Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) refers to a set of chemical treatment methods designed to remove organic pollutants and contaminants from water and wastewater through the generation of highly reactive species, primarily hydroxyl radicals (•OH). These radicals can effectively degrade a wide range of harmful compounds, including those that are resistant to conventional treatment methods.
Key Features:
Generation of Hydroxyl Radicals: AOPs typically use a combination of oxidants (like ozone, hydrogen peroxide, or UV light) to produce hydroxyl radicals, which are powerful oxidizing agents.
Wide Applicability: Effective for treating various contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other organic pollutants that are difficult to degrade.
Versatile Techniques: Different AOP techniques exist, such as Fenton's reaction, ozone‐based AOP, and photocatalytic processes, allowing for tailored approaches depending on the specific contaminants and conditions.
Environmental Benefits: AOPs can significantly reduce the toxicity of wastewater and are often used as a pre‐treatment step before biological treatment processes.
Advanced oxidation processes are an important tool in environmental remediation, helping to enhance water quality and reduce the impact of industrial pollutants on ecosystems.
