Despite of a great number of currently available AOTs /e.g., O3; H2O2, ultraviolet (UV) as well as their combinations), there is still a continuous search for new and more effective strategies to generate hydroxyl radicals. In literature, the principal applications of these processes refer to the oxidation of organic compounds, dissolved inorganic compounds and other pollutants. Fewer references were found, however, regarding their use for wastewater disinfection, in special the combined treatment between peracetic acid (PAA) and UV.
