Maximizing Water Resources: Comparison of UV and Ozone Advanced Oxidation Processes for Turning Contaminated Water Into Potable Drinking Water

摘要

As drought becomes pervasive around the world, many water suppliersrnare turning to water supplies once avoided – contaminated surface waters andrngroundwaters and wastewater. These water supplies are now a valuable part of arnsustainable water supply; however, advanced treatment with advanced oxidationrnprocesses (AOPs) is typically needed to address trace contaminants in thesernsupplies. This paper will address the following questions: 1) What is the best AOPrntechnology for a given application? 2) Are there oxidation byproducts of concern?rn3) What is the best peroxide quenching method? 4) How cost competitive arernAOPs?
