TL;DR: The resistances in series model was used for the evaluation of the resistances to the permeate flux, and it was concluded that the contribution to the total resistance of the fouling resistance was higher than the inherent resistances of the clean membrane.

TL;DR: High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry technique was applied to the concentrations evaluation and further identification of the parent compounds and their by-products, which allowed the proposal of the degradation pathways for each compound.

TL;DR: In this paper, two advanced oxidation processes: the combinations of ozone and UV radiation, and hydrogen peroxide, were used in the chemical degradation of protocatechuic acid, a phenolic pollutant present in the wastewaters from olive oil manufacturing.

TL;DR: For the oxidant concentrations applied, the most effective process in removing gallic acid was found to be the photo-Fenton system, and the rate constant for the reaction of gallic Acid with OH was determined by means of a competition kinetics model.

TL;DR: The oxidation of 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenol has been carried out by a photodecomposition process using a polychromatic UV irradiation, and by an ozonation process, where the intermediate reaction products were identified, the most important being tetrachlorocatechol, tetrACHlorohydroquinone and tetra-p-chlorobenzoquinone.
