EV7001 ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS L T P C 3 0 0 3 

OBJECTIVES:

 Identify the most critical issues and challenges that limit the use of conventional treatment processes in planning, design and operation of modern water and wastewater treatment facilities.]
 Thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) and also Photochemistry and ozone chemistry, its application to AOPs for the removal of contaminants or the detoxification of contaminated waters Develop in-depth knowledge that can be used to devise and design effective AOP treatment systems to meet not only current but also anticipated regulatory requirements, and enhance the independent learning and critical thinking skills.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO AOPS 8 Introduction to AOPs for water and wastewater treatment – mechanism – photo oxidation reactions – photocatalytic reactions, photo initiated oxidation – UV- H2O2 / ozonation, fenton / photofenton – photocatalysis – light source choice – used in AOPs and their spectral distributions. 

UNIT II HETEROGENEOUS PROCESS 10 Introduction to nano & heterogeneous photocatalysis effect of system composition and process. Identification of degradation products, Photoreactors ( liquid phase/ gas phase) – solar/ artificial light photo reactors – operation of pilot plants – comparing reactor efficiencies – system design – solar collectors – technology issues – slurry, supported catalyst – reuse – novel photocatalysts, Synthesis methods – bulk, chemical approaches, physical approaches, nanoporous materials – physic chemical methods for characterization of nano materials. 

UNIT III HOMOGENOUS AOPS 8 Ozone, electro-chemical oxidation, ultrasonication, UV – Photolysis, Hydrogen Peroxide and Ultraviolet Radiation (H2O2/UV), Fenton and Photo Fenton‟s Oxidation, chemical and non-chemical AOPs, advantages and disadvantages of homogeneous processes. 

UNIT IV ENHANCEMENT OF QUANTUM YIELD 9 Non-thermal plasma-electron hydraulic cavitation and sonolysis- super water oxidation – γ rays- electron beams, Quantum yield improvement by additional oxidants – hydrogen peroxide persulphate – catalyst modification. case studies and applications semiconductor photolysis. Process fundamentals, applications and commercial process. 

UNIT V INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS AND ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF AOTs 10 Application of AOPs for industries like textile, petroleum pharmaceutical and petrochemical industry. Ground water decontamination – drinking water treatment – pilot & land fill photochemical – cost calculation – economic analysis. TOTAL: 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOMES:
 Upon completion of the course, graduates are expected to attain the following outcomes:
1. Apply AOPs to solve pollution problems
2. Comprehend the basic principles of advanced water treatment processes, capabilities/constraints of their application in water treatment and have knowledge on the design and operation of these processes.
3. Select an appropriate treatment process for a specific application, and identify appropriate pre-treatment and post treatment schemes, and cleaning protocols for these processes.
