AHN K. H. / MAENG S. K. / PARK K. Y. / et al. - ARTICLE DE PERIODIQUE - 2005

The major components of criteria for wastewater reclamations are colour, organic matter and pathogens. An advanced oxidation process with low pressure ultraviolet and hydrogen peroxide addition has been employed for removal of the major components in the criteria for reuse of wastewater. Sand filter pre-treatment was applied to remove turbidity and to improve performance of UV irradiation. The addition of H2O2 significantly improved the removal of color and dissolved organic matter.
