Effect of Bicarbonate Alkalinity on Performance of Advanced Oxidation Processes

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.
