Urban and Industrial Wastewater Disinfection and Decontamination by Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs): Current Issues and Future Trends
Summary
This review examined advanced oxidation processes for disinfecting and removing contaminants from urban and industrial wastewater before release into the environment. These treatment technologies can also help break down microplastics and associated chemical pollutants in wastewater.
Without any doubt, the 21st century has kick-started a great evolution in all aspects of our everyday life [...]

Addressing main challenges in the tertiary treatment of urban wastewater: are homogeneous photodriven AOPs the answer?
This review assessed homogeneous photodriven advanced oxidation processes as tertiary treatment options for urban wastewater, finding they offer promising but conditional performance for removing micropollutants including those associated with plastic additives.
Advanced oxidation in the treatment of microplastics in water: A Review
Researchers reviewed how advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) — chemical methods that generate highly reactive molecules — can break down microplastics in water rather than simply filtering them out. Unlike traditional treatment that just moves microplastics around, some AOPs can fully convert plastic fragments into carbon dioxide and water, making them a promising frontier for actual microplastic destruction in water treatment.
Microplastics Degradation in Water: A Review of Advanced Oxidative Processes and Ozonation for Effective Treatment
This review examines advanced oxidative processes (AOPs) and ozonation as emerging technologies for degrading microplastics in drinking water and aquatic environments, covering both identification and quantification methods alongside treatment efficacy. The authors assess the challenges and capabilities of these approaches in addressing the growing concern over microplastic contamination in water supplies.
Advanced Oxidation Processes for Degrading Microplastics in Aqueous Media
This review examines advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) as a promising approach for degrading microplastics in water, offering an alternative to conventional methods like coagulation and membrane filtration that merely relocate particles. The study highlights that AOPs can break down long polymer chains into simpler byproducts and emphasizes the importance of developing integrated remediation technologies aligned with circular economy principles.
Transformation of Traditional Wastewater Treatment Methods into Advanced Oxidation Processes and the Role of Ozonation
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it reviews advanced oxidation processes with a focus on ozonation for wastewater treatment, covering microbial inactivation and degradation of organic pollutants.
