Advance Oxidation Process (AOP) for water treatment
Advance Oxidation Processes (AOP) is an oxidation method consisting of highly reactive species used in the oxidative destruction of target pollutants. In water, AOP creates hydroxyl radicals, a powerful secondary oxidant. This secondary oxidant can cause the oxidation of most organic compounds until they are fully mineralized as carbon dioxide and water. The hydroxyl radical has a much higher ...

Disinfection byproducts from water treatment are suspected not only of being health hazards but even of being carcinogenic. Oxyhalides have therefore become the subject of many investigations and standards (e.g., EPA 300.1 Part B, EPA 317.0, EPA 326.0). Of primary concern is bromate, which forms from bromide during the ozonization of drinking water. The Metrosep A Supp 7 - 250/4.0 is a ...
