Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs)

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are innovative techniques used to purify water by breaking down pollutants. They work by generating highly reactive species, like hydroxyl radicals, which effectively degrade organic contaminants, including chemicals and toxins. AOPs often involve combining different methods, such as ultraviolet light, hydrogen peroxide, or ozonation, to enhance the oxidative power. These processes are particularly useful for treating wastewater or polluted water sources, making them cleaner and safer for the environment and human health. AOPs represent a promising approach in environmental technology aimed at addressing complex contamination challenges.
