Objectives
The goal of the project was to evaluate the treatment of a representative list of organic contaminants from the Contaminant Candidate List 3 (CCL 3) via UV- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The research focused on these chemicals because they are being explored for possible regulation by the EPA in the future. The specific objectives of the research were to:
1. Select and prioritize CCL₃ contaminants for investigation
2. Select bioassays used to evaluate biological activity
3. Apply advanced oxidation treatment of CCL₃ chemicals using UV-H₂O₂ and O₃/O₃-H₂O₂ processes
4. Monitor AOP treatment using bioassay testing
5. Engineer evaluation for AOP operating conditions that minimize post-treatment bioactivity [...]
