Chemical Oxidation in Water Treatment

This lecture covers the application of oxidation processes in water treatment, focusing on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for disinfection, taste/odor control, and removal of micro-pollutants. It discusses the use of oxidants like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and ozone, as well as their role in oxidation and disinfection. The lecture also delves into the kinetics of oxidation reactions, the importance of iron and manganese removal in drinking water, and the mechanisms of in situ deferrisation and demanganation. Additionally, it explores the biological processes for iron and manganese removal, denitrification, and the oxidation of various compounds in water treatment.
