UV oxidation is a process in which an oxidation precursor (commonly called an oxidant) is converted into free radical species that interact with micropollutants, resulting in their oxidation and the breaking of their chemical bonds. Two oxidants are commonly used in UV AOP applications: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and free chlorine. Selecting the best oxidant depends significantly on the water’s characteristics and the UV AOP application.
