Abstract
Evaluates the dominance of carbonate radical anion (CAB) versus the hydroxyl radical in the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOP) to waters high in carbonate/bicarbonate alkalinity. Provides a better understanding of the effect of CAB on specific organics and oxidation by-products, promoting optimal use of AOP for maximum treatment efficiencies. Published in 1998.
