The current study undertaken by the Walkerton Clean Water Centre (WCWC) is to evaluate the application of Advanced OxidationProcesses (AOPs) involving Ozone and UV with the addition of hydrogen peroxide, as one of the methods used in the process of the removal of PPCPs and EDCs, or taste and odor. The amount of hydrogen peroxide used with UV is much higher than that used with the ozone application. The concern is the impact of the hydrogen peroxide on the chlorine residual in the water that is pumped to the distribution system. One of the methods used to deal with this problem is to increase the chlorine addition to maintain the required residual. That could increase the disinfectant by-products (DBPs), namely Trihalomethanes (THMs), in addition to increase to the cost of operation. The findings of these experiments would provide useful information regarding the AOPs application using ozone vs. UV with hydrogen peroxide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
