Review of Advanced Oxidation Processes Based on Peracetic Acid for Organic Pollutants

In recent years, the removal of organic pollutants from water and wastewater has attracted more attention to different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). There been increasing interest in using peroxyacetic acid (PAA), an emerging oxidant with low or no toxic by-products, yet promotion application are limited by unclear activation mechanisms complex preparation processes. This paper synthesized related research results reported on PAA-based AOPs. Based others, this not only introduced method characteristics PAA but also summarized mechanism reactivity activated free radical pathway discussed main influencing factors. Furthermore, principle newly discovered methods non-radical years were reviewed for first time. Finally, shortcomings development AOPs prospected. review provides a reference technology that can be practically applied treatment water.
