Degradation of Caffeine by Advanced Oxidative Processes: O₃and O₃/UV

Treatment technologies for emerging contaminants in water: A review

“…Table 12, it is evident that the performance of AOPs in the degradation of ECs is similarly high for all the studies, the main difference being the source of energy provided for the process. Solar radiation is reported [171,172] as an alternate possibility to driving the degradation process instead of using lamps [169,170] …”

Comparison of ciprofloxacin degradation in reclaimed water by UV/chlorine and UV/persulfate advanced oxidation processes

“…UV-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as UV/H 2 O 2 (Guo et al, 2013), UV/TiO 2 (Długosz et al, 2015), and UV/O 3 (Souza & Féris, 2015) have been reported to effectively decay PPCPs through the formation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (HO · ). However, the HO · reacts non-selectively with many organic contaminants, including dissolved organic matter and carbonate/bicarbonate anions, which compete with PPCPs (Matta, Tlili, Chiron, & Barbati, 2011).…”

Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Caffeine Using Titanium Dioxide Photocatalyst Immobilized on Circular Glass Sheets under Ultraviolet C Irradiation

“…Furthermore, the coral bleaching and the inhibitory effects on algae growth could be presented when the contamination level of caffeine is more than 30 mg/L [13]. Several methods have been investigated for degradation of caffeine in aqueous solutions such as ozonation [17,18], photo-Fenton [19,20], chlorination [21], UV photolysis [22], and semiconductor-based photocatalysis [4,8,11,13]. Ozonation performs the slow reaction rates in caffeine removal.…”
