Abstract
With the increasing number of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater treatment plants, there will be a stringent need for rapid and convenient development of tertiary treatment processes such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Microreactors offer a great opportunity for ultrafast and safe intrinsic kinetic parameters determination, by-products identification, and ecotoxicity assessment. Despite the considerable potential of these devices, they have been mostly used for catalyst screening or pseudo-first order kinetics determination, not allowing for knowledge transfer across scales. This work offers an overview of the adoption of micro-and photo-microreactors for intrinsic kinetics investigations in the field of AOPs to guide future research efforts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
