This special issue of the Chemical Engineering Journal presents a collection of 32 papers focusing on the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal of micro-pollutants and pathogens from various environmental matrices. The objective is to showcase fundamental and applied research concerning the effective degradation of various harmful substances, including pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors. The methodology encompasses innovative techniques such as heterogeneous photocatalysis, catalytic ozonation, wet peroxide oxidation, and electrochemical oxidation to enhance pollutant removal capabilities. Among the included articles, researchers discuss the pivotal role of reactive oxygen species, especially hydroxyl radicals, in degrading a wide array of organic and inorganic compounds as well as inactivating pathogens. The findings highlight the effectiveness of AOPs across diverse scenarios, including treatment of surface, drinking, and ground water, as well as municipal and industrial wastewaters and even soil and air. The compilation aims to provide an essential reference for the ongoing development and optimization of AOP technologies in environmental remediation efforts.
