Advanced OMP Removal: Oxidation and Adsorption Processes

This lecture covers advanced processes for organic micropollutant (OMP) removal, focusing on oxidation and adsorption methods. The instructor explains the use of highly reactive oxidants like ozone and hydroxyl radicals for OMP oxidation, highlighting the transformation of compounds and the formation of oxidation products. The most common oxidation technology, ozonation, is discussed along with other methods such as ferrate and advanced oxidation. Additionally, the lecture explores the adsorption of OMP on activated carbon, emphasizing the removal of compounds without transformation. Various types of activated carbon and their efficiency in OMP removal are also presented, providing insights into the practical application of these processes.
