  • Can oxidation kinetics of pharmaceuticals dissolved in natural waters be predicted?
  • In the second part of the study, oxidation kinetics of the selected pharmaceuticals were investigated in ozonation experiments performed in different natural waters. It could be shown that the second-order rate constants determined in pure aqueous solution could be applied to predict the behavior of pharmaceuticals dissolved in natural waters.
  • How oxidation processes are used to remove pharmaceutical residues?
  • As a result, pharmaceutical residues pose on-going and potential health and environmental risks. To tackle these emerging contaminants, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as photo-Fenton, sonolysis, electrochemical oxidation, radiation and ozonation etc. have been applied to remove pharmaceuticals.
  • Should advanced oxidation treatment be combined with conventional water treatment methods?
  • To overcome this drawback, the coupling of advanced oxidation treatment with existing conventional water treatment methods has been suggested to be more cost-effective and also to enhance the efficiency of the process ( Oller et al., 2011, Schröder et al., 2016 ).
  • Does oxidation remove endocrine disrupting chemicals?
  • Ozonation and advanced oxidation technologies to remove endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water effluents. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 149 (3), 631–642. Fenton, H. J. H. (1894). Oxidation of tartaric acid in the presence of iron.
