Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment

The suitability of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for pollutant degradation was recognised in the early 1970s and much research and development work has been undertaken to commercialise some of these processes. AOPs have shown great potential in treating pollutants at both low and high concentrations and have found applications as diverse as ground water treatment, municipal wastewater sludge destruction and VOCs control. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment is an overview of the advanced oxidation processes currently used or proposed for the remediation of water, wastewater, odours and sludge. The book contains two opening chapters which present introductions to advanced oxidation processes and a background to UV photolysis, seven chapters focusing on individual advanced oxidation processes and, finally, three chapters concentrating on selected applications of advanced oxidation processes. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment will be invaluable to readers interested in water and wastewater treatment processes, including professionals and suppliers, as well as students and academics studying in this area. Dr Simon Parsons is a Senior Lecturer in Water Sciences at Cranfield University with ten years' experience of industrial and academic research and development.

In the framework of the section on Wastewater Treatment and Reuse launched by the Editorial Office of Water, we proposed a Special Issue titled Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment. One review and nine research papers were published in this Issue of Water from March 2020 to March 2021 a=er a rigorous peer-review. Nonetheless, a printed book gathering them in an organized manner would be very useful. The book format allows one to browse through the articles in a much easier way. Anybody in a laboratory/classroom can have the printed book at hand for consultation at any time. This book contains articles written by several experts on Advanced Oxidation Processes, particularly focused in electrochemical treatments. Its publication will allow the scientific community interested in this domain to possess a book of distinctive value at an affordable price.
