Advanced Oxidation Processes have gained an increasing interest in the water treatment industry due to their wide versatility. This includes the treatment of complex industrial wastewaters, the elimination of contaminants of emerging concern in wastewater treatment plants or even water conditioning towards human consumption. Over the past decades, research on AOPs has evolved employing a wider range of oxidants (such as H2O2, ozone, persulfate, percarbonate or peracetic acid, amongst others) but also due to the apparition of intensification strategies that include the application of different radiation sources (UV-vis, ultrasounds, microwave), high temperature processes and electro-oxidation technologies. This symposium will contribute to bring closer these technologies to the main industrial areas that require specialized advanced water treatments. In this sense, the symposium serves as meeting point for research centres, public institutions and industry to tackle current and future challenges in a cooperative way.

Contributions focused on these areas are welcomed:
