Peracids in water treatment: A critical review

Luukkonen, Tero, Pehkonen, Simo O.·2017·Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology

Abstract

Peracids have gained interest in the water treatment over the last few decades. Peracetic acid (CH3CO3H) has already become an accepted alternative disinfectant in wastewater disinfection whereas performic acid (CHO3H) has been studied much less, although it is also already commercially available. Additionally, peracids have been studied for drinking water disinfection, oxidation of aqueous (micro)pollutants, sludge treatment, and ballast water treatment, to name just a few examples. The purpose of this review paper is to represent comprehensive up-to-date information about the water treatment applications, aqueous reaction mechanisms, and disinfection by-product formation of peracids, namely performic, peracetic, and perpropionic acids.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
