TL;DR: In this article, different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are considered and critically presented according to their specific features with reference, whenever possible, to their real applications for water pollution abatement.

TL;DR: Paracetamol oxidation from aqueous solutions is studied by means of ozonation and H( 2)O(2) photolysis to destroy the aromatic ring of the substrate with a partial conversion of the initial carbon content into carbon dioxide.

TL;DR: Under abiotic conditions both hydrolysis and direct photolysis could be responsible for the transformation and removal of amoxicillin in aquatic environment, especially in slightly basic media.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of catalyst load and reaction temperature upon rate development of the oxalic acid ozonation process has been examined, and the observed dependence of system reactivity on pH and the results obtained by Ozonation experiments with MnO2 catalysts of different pHzpc values agree with a reaction mechanism involving the formation of a surface Mn-oxalic acyclic acid complex.

TL;DR: Assessment of kinetics of abatement from aqueous solutions of clofibric acid (a metabolite of the blood lipid regulator clofibrate) which has been found in surface, ground and drinking waters finds Ozonation and hydrogen peroxide photolysis are capable of fast removal of this species in aqueously solution.
