Developing advanced treatment technologies for improving the removal of micropollutants in water/wastewater is important. A suitable treatment is more likely to be used as the polishing step in the treatment scheme. Advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) are relevant for removing micropollutants. The ability of direct UV photolysis and selected AOTs to degrade pharmaceuticals, endocrine-disrupting compound and herbicide has been studied and compared. The tested methods resulted in the degradation of the studied micropollutants; however, none of the methods was preferred for the removal of all tested compounds. The UV-active processes have strong potential for removal of the studied micropollutants. The utilisation of a moderate hydrogen peroxide admixture resulted in a more reliable treatment.
开发用于提高水中/废水中微污染物去除率的先进处理技术非常重要。合适的处理方法更有可能作为处理方案中的抛光步骤。高级氧化技术（AOTs）可用于去除微污染物。研究并比较了直接紫外光解和选定的 AOT 降解药物、内分泌干扰化合物和除草剂的能力。所测试的方法导致研究中的微污染物降解；然而，没有一种方法被优先用于去除所有测试的化合物。紫外线活性过程具有去除研究中的微污染物的强大潜力。适度添加过氧化氢可实现更可靠的处理。
