The advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) UV/H2O2, UV/O3 and O3/H2O2 were optimised to achieve a 90% degradation of the micropollutant atrazine in continuous-flow reactors. The experiments were performed with spiked Berlin tap-water. The comparison of mechanistically different oxidation systems needs a non-specific figure-of-merit to avoid influences by system-inherent parameters. The chosen figure-of-merit consists of the electrical energy per order of magnitude in oxidation per m3, EE/0. The combination O3/H2O2 proved to be the most efficient process by means of energy consumption.

The comparison of mechanistically different advanced oxidation processes (AOPS) UV/H2O2, UV/O3 and O3/H2O2 needs a non-specific figure-of-merit to avoid influences by system-inherent parameters. The chosen figure-of-merit consists of the electrical energy per order of magnitude in oxidation per m3, EE/O. Results from own experiments were compared with data derived from the literature. Considered were batch-experiments, pilot-plants and full-scale plants. The combination O3/H2O2 proved to be the most efficient process by means of energy consumption irrespective of the size of the plant.

Electrical Energy Per Order

Abstract The concept of Electrical Energy per Order (EEO) was introduced in 2001 as a figure of merit for evaluating the energy requirements of ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV AOPs) used for the degradation of various organic contaminants. The EEO parameter represents the energy input into the reactor that can achieve an order of magnitude decrease in the concentration of a target contaminant in a unit volume. Since the introduction of this parameter, it has become increasingly popular among UV AOP researchers and practitioners. However, the EEO is often reported without important details that affect the parameter, making its interpretation difficult. The EEO depends on a variety of factors (e.g. the concentration and identity of the target contaminant and the amount of hydrogen peroxide added). Therefore, the EEO parameter needs to be reported in the literature with several other experimental details affecting the reactor performance and in a way that proper comparisons can be made between reactors across studies or manufacturers. This paper discusses the proper application of the EEO parameter for bench-, pilot-, and full-scale studies. Sucralose (artificial sweetener, C12H19Cl3O8) is proposed as a standard substance for reactor comparison.

AbstractAdvanced oxidation processes (AOPs), which involve the in-situ generation of highly potent chemical oxidants such as the hydroxyl radical (•OH), have recently emerged as an important class of technologies for accelerating the oxidation and hence destruction of a wide range of organic contaminants in polluted water and air. We propose generally applicable standard figures-of-merit for comparing these waste treatment technologies. These figures-of-merit are based on electrical energy consumption within two phenomenological kinetic order regimes: one for high contaminant concentrations (electrical energy per mass, EE/M) and one for low concentrations (electrical energy per order of magnitude per m

A two-year comprehensive advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) pilot test was completed for a Singapore waterworks in 2011–2013. This study focused on oxidative removal of spiked organic contaminants with ozone and ozone-based AOPs (ozone application together with hydrogen peroxide, which is necessary for AOPs). The ‘optimized H2O2 dosage’ test philosophy was verified during the test period – keeping the residual ozone at 0.3 mg/L in the water for disinfection purpose by minimizing the H2O2 dosage. This study also monitored the bromate concentration in both ozone- and AOP-treated water, and all the samples reported below the laboratory detection limit (<5 µg/L), which is also lower than the WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality (<10 µg/L). For comparison, a low pressure UV-based AOP test was conducted in the final stage of the study. The electrical energy per order (EEO) value is compared with ozone- and UV-based AOPs as well. The results indicated that ozone-based AOP with an optimized hydrogen peroxide dosage could be the most energy efficient option for this specific water matrix in terms of most selected compounds.

Textile manufacturing is a multi-stage operation process that produces significant amounts of highly toxic wastewater. Given the size of the global textile market and its environmental impact, the development of effective, economical, and easy-to handle alternative treatment technologies for textile wastewater is of significant interest. Based on the analysis of peer-reviewed publications over the last two decades, this paper provides a comprehensive review of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on textile wastewater treatment, including their performances, mechanisms, advantages, disadvantages, influencing factors, and electrical energy per order (EEO) requirements. Fenton-based AOPs show the lowest median EEO value of 0.98 kWh m−3 order−1, followed by photochemical (3.20 kWh m−3 order−1), ozonation (3.34 kWh m−3 order−1), electrochemical (29.5 kWh m−3 order−1), photocatalysis (91 kWh m−3 order−1), and ultrasound (971.45 kWh m−3 order−1). The Fenton process can treat textile effluent at the lowest possible cost due to the minimal energy input and low reagent cost, while Ultrasound-based AOPs show the lowest electrical efficiency due to the high energy consumption. Further, to explore the applicability of these methods, available results from a full-scale implementation of the enhanced Fenton technology at a textile mill wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) are discussed. The WWTP operates at an estimated cost of CNY ¥1.62 m−3 (USD $0.23 m−3) with effluent meeting the China Grade I-A pollutant discharge standard for municipal WWTPs, indicating that the enhanced Fenton technology is efficient and cost-effective in industrial treatment for textile effluent.

AbstractTwo published criteria for analyzing and optimizing Advanced Oxidation Processes are compared with respect to their usefulness for process optimization and for determination of the most cost-effective of several candidate processes for a particular application. The Cumulative Efficiency (CE) method compares the amount of target contaminant removed per amount of oxidant used. The Electrical Energy per Mass (EE/M) method compares electrical energy required per kilogram of target pollutant removed. The methods were evaluated using data from treatability studies for DOC removal from a ground water contaminated with 50 mg/L of organic carbon, using processes consisting of combinations of ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and ultraviolet light. It was found that the CE method gave better information about how to manipulate the chemistry for optimization, while the EE/M method provided clearer guidance for process selection on economic grounds, making the methods complimentary in treatability studies. The CE method also predicted that a tandem process might function more efficiently than either of the component single processes, which was found experimentally to be the case.

Oxidation Processes

Water quality management will be a priority issue in the near future. Indeed, due to scarcity and/or contamination of the water, regulatory frameworks will be increasingly strict to reduce environmental impacts of wastewater and to allow water to be reused. Moreover, drinking water quality standards must be improved in order to account for the emerging pollutants that are being detected in tap water. These tasks can only be achieved if new improved and sustainable water treatment technologies are developed. Nanomaterials are improving the ongoing research on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This work reviews the most important AOPs, namely: persulfate, chlorine and NH2Cl based processes, UV/H2O2, Fenton processes, ozone, and heterogeneous photocatalytic processes. A critical review of the current coupling of nanomaterials to some of these AOPs is presented. Besides the active role of the nanomaterials in the degradation of water contaminants/pollutants in the AOPs, the relevance of their adsorbent/absorbent function in these processes is also discussed.
