Abstract
Basic chemistry and water treatment of broad range of oxidants and related radical species are covered in this chapter. A general introduction to oxidants and radicals is followed by detailed sections on chlorine species, advanced oxidation processes, persulfates, and non-consensual radical mechanisms. Further, detailed information on oxidant applicability and activation, oxidant-specific recalcitrant pollutants and commonly formed by-products is provided. To assess the suitability of the specific oxidants for real water conditions, matrix components interferences are discussed. Considerable attention is paid to chemistry of innovative oxidants (persulfates) and to the controversial aspects of superoxide radical anion reactivity with carbon tetrachloride.
