Research Progress of Advanced Oxidation Technology for Drinking Water Treatment

Advanced oxidation technology is attracting attention as an effective method of water treatment that can degrade various organic pollutants. The combination of photocatalysis (UV) and ozone (O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a promising advanced oxidation technology. The combination of ozone, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet light and other oxidants for catalytic oxidation is also the current mainstream advanced oxidation technology. They can effectively degrade emerging water pollutants and alleviate water pollution problems. Titanium dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, and ozone are all popular catalysts because of their low cost, non-toxicity, strong oxidizing ability, and easy contact with various surfaces.
