The solid-phase adsorption processes and the AOP
processes were applied separately and in combination,
with the aimof simulating a realistic drinking watertreatment
plant. In addition, the AOP technique was
tested with and without the use of hydrogen peroxide, in
order to verify the effective contribution of this oxidant
to the removal of organic compounds.
The technical characteristics of the applied adsorption
material and of the AOP processes are as follows:
