Beschreibung
This book focuses on the effective removal of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) from water and wastewater using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The book delves into the concepts, mechanisms, and practical applications of AOPs. As there is an increasing worldwide concern over EDCs, such as hormones, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, persistent organic pollutants, plasticizers, and phenolic compounds, this book delves into the drawbacks of conventional treatment methods and highlights AOPs as a potential and effective alternative. The oxidative breakdown of various types of EDCs is covered in detail in the chapters that follow, with an emphasis on the reaction routes, kinetic characteristics, and radical-based processes. Assessments of toxicity, by-products, and environmental sustainability, as well as integration with existing infrastructure, and special emphasis in the context of hybrid AOP systems. Scalability, efficiency, and real-world application are demonstrated through case studies, including industrial and municipal treatment facilities. This book will serve as a crucial resource for researchers, policymakers, environmental engineers, or graduate students interested in sustainable water treatment methods or emerging contaminants. It makes a significant contribution to worldwide efforts to attain clean water and responsible chemical management, as stated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by connecting state-of-the-art scientific research with engineering practice and policy significance.
