AOP - Advanced Oxidation Process

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a group of techniques that can mineralize organic contaminants through the use of radicals to break down complex compounds into simpler products. AOPs are considered to be highly effective for removing contaminants because of their high mineralization efficiency, rapid oxidation reaction rate, and low potential for secondary pollution.

MULTIOXIDATIVE SYSTEM (MOS)

Water decontamination system focused on reducing organic and microbiological components through AOP technology, enhancing existing water treatment systems. This technology improves water quality, reduces costs, and enables water reuse.

History of AOP

1886 Dr. Meritens used O3 as a disinfectant agent

1973 Term ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESSES was employed
