Comparison of UV/H2O2, UV/S2O82−, solar/Fe(II)/H2O2 and solar/Fe(II)/S2O82− at pilot plant scale for the elimination of micro-contaminants in natural water: An economic assessment
Solar photo-Fenton and UV highly efficient in the removal of micro-contaminants. Comparison between solar photo-Fenton and UV must consider an economic assessment. Solar and UV with 50 mg/L of H2O2 and UV with 50 mg/L of peroxydisulfate showed similar costs. Total costs increase if more than 99% degradation of micro-contaminants is required.
