medium;\">In many water and wastewater treatment applications, there are a number of pollutants that are difficult to reduce by physical, chemical, or biological means alone. In more recent years, there has been a growing concern regarding pharmaceutical drugs in drinking water and aquatic environments. Pesticides get caught in runoff from farms into freshwater supplies. Personal care products are typically washed down the drain into whatever system they are linked to. Landfill leachate is a toxic cocktail of compounds that can leak into groundwater sources.<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Such contaminants fall into the category of micropollutants, because they are so small. Their size alone is part of the reason, they are so difficult to remove from water and wastewater by certain means. More efficient removal requires a more powerful oxidation process, this process is called an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.environmental-expert.com\/products\/advanced-oxidation-process-for-industrial-wastewater-treatment-system-619898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advanced oxidation process<\/a> (AOP).<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This process creates powerful oxidizing agents in the form of hydroxide (OH<\/span><\/span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">)<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">, but more specifically, its neutral variant the hydroxyl radical (\u2981OH). Its oxidation potential is twice that of chlorine, a commonly used disinfectant. Hydroxyl radicals are the driving forces behind many advanced oxidation processes. Ozone (O<\/span><\/span><sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">3<\/span><\/span><\/sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">), hydrogen peroxide (H<\/span><\/span><sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2<\/span><\/span><\/sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">O<\/span><\/span><sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2<\/span><\/span><\/sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">), and ultraviolet light (UV) are often used in various combinations to produce \u2981OH in sufficient quantities to degrade organic (and some inorganic) pollutants. This process can reduce these pollutant concentrations, potentially from hundreds of parts per million (ppm) to just a few parts per billion (ppb). <\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">These radicals are non-selective, therefore, they attack almost all organic materials. After these contaminants are broken down once by the \u2981OH radical they form intermediates. Those intermediates themselves react with the oxidants and mineralize into stable compounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Advanced oxidation has been around for several years. Therefore, this process has more than proved its usefulness, however, it is still being researched and optimized accordingly. <\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A powerful treatment process like the <a href=\"https:\/\/genesiswatertech.com\/blog-post\/how-to-choose-the-correct-aop-process-for-your-wastewater-treatment-application\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advanced oxidation process<\/a> has many benefits, but it also has its share of disadvantages. <br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Here are just a few of the pros and cons of this particular process:<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Pros<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Rapid reaction rates<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The OH molecule has some of the fastest reaction rates of all of the oxidants used to treat water and wastewater due to its high oxidation potentials and their non-selective nature. These quick reactions result in much lower retention times than other conventional treatment processes.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Small footprint<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Because of the oxidation power of the \u2981OH radical, Advanced oxidation process units do not require much land area to process the needed flow rate for the system.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Theoretically, do not introduce new hazardous substances into water<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">One of the issues with chlorine disinfection is the highly toxic byproducts (DPB&#8217;s) that can result after treatment. To prevent these byproducts, an extra de-chlorination step is often required before anything else can be accomplished with the treated water. The \u2981OH molecule can combine to create water. The biggest issues would be with bromate formation and excess peroxide, but these can be dealt with in a well-designed advanced oxidation process system.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mineralization of organics <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">AOP can convert the organic materials within the water into stable inorganic compounds like water, carbon dioxide, and salts.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Can treat nearly all organic materials and can remove some heavy metals<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The highly reactive nature of \u2981OH means these molecules will attack almost any organic materials without discriminating, and therefore, can remove many different contaminants in one reactor vessel, including reducing a few heavy metals.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Can work for disinfection<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Especially when used with UV disinfection, the oxidation power of AOP systems make them capable of acting as a disinfection step for any pathogens that may be present in the water.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">No sludge production as with chemical or biological processes<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">An advanced oxidation process does not treat water and wastewater by transferring pollutants into another phase. Other treatment processes create solids like sludge that need to be filtered out and dealt with separately.<\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em>Does not concentrate waste for further treatment<\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Treatment solutions such as membranes result in increased concentrations of the waste contaminants, since they merely separate clean water from the pollutant compounds. AOP meanwhile directly reacts with the pollutants and reduces them to harmless compounds. This process therefore, decreases their concentrations in the effluent.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Cons<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Relatively high capital and operating\/maintenance costs<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Perhaps the biggest drawback of the AOP process is its costs. The most significant are the operating and maintenance costs from the required energy and chemical reagents to operate the system. <\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Complex chemistry tailored to specific contaminants<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Advanced oxidation processes have several different variants. These variants need to be carefully selected to efficiently treat the water\/wastewater in question. This process is also a dosage dependent process, so the appropriate amounts of \u2981OH molecules are formed to achieve the desired level of treatment. Such complex chemistry, will likely need highly skilled engineers to design the system correctly. <\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><em><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Removal of residual peroxide may need to be considered<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Advanced oxidation process systems utilizing hydrogen peroxide should be carefully controlled for residual H<\/span><\/span><sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2<\/span><\/span><\/sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">O<\/span><\/span><sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2<\/span><\/span><\/sub><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> as it can have potential negative effects on later treatment steps.
