Advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) involve the use of powerful oxidizing inter-mediates (e.g., the hydroxyl radical ∙OH) that can oxidize and degrade primarily organic ... and the system design and operation would then be based on utility preferences and any requirements of the governing agency. State regulatory agencies may also develop ...
