TL;DR: The improvement in the decomposition levels reached by the combined processes, due to the generation of the very reactive hydroxyl radicals, in relation to the single oxidants is clearly demonstrated and evaluated by kinetic modeling.

TL;DR: The improvement in the decomposition levels of carbofuran reached by the combined processes in relation to the single oxidants, due to the generation of the very reactive hydroxyl radicals, is also established in every process.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of selected pharmaceuticals in some water matrices was studied by using several chemical treatments, including UV radiation alone, ozone, Fenton's reagent, photo-Fenton system, and combinations of UV radiation and ozone with H 2 O 2, TiO 2, Fe(II), and Fe(III).

TL;DR: Apparent rate constants for the reactions of four selected pharmaceutical compounds with chlorine in ultra-pure (UP) water were determined as a function of the pH, and the efficiency of the chlorination process with respect to the pharmaceuticals elimination and the formation THMs was established.
