Treating wastewater for potable reuse: removal of chemicals of concern using advanced oxidation processes

该项目促进了澳大利亚在水再利用技术方面的领先地位，并有利于全球的水再利用计划。澳大利亚计划了几个主要的再利用方案，人们也很清楚，公众的信心需要强有力的科学研究。社区的看法是饮用水再利用的一个严重障碍，这个项目的结果将为明智的决策提供重要和独立的信息。所提出的氧化工艺将提高循环水和废盐水的质量，具有良好的环境效益和经济效益。这对澳大利亚区域来说尤其重要，因为在没有海洋排放的情况下，对水的再利用和具有成本效益的废物处理都有很大的需求。

The project promotes Australia as a leader in water reuse technology and is of benefit to reuse schemes globally. Several major reuse schemes are planned for Australia and it is well recognised that robust science is needed for public confidence. Community perception is a serious barrier to potable reuse and the results from this project will provide essential and independent information for informed decision making. The oxidation processes proposed will improve the quality of both recycled water and waste brine, providing environmental and economic benefit. This is particularly significant for regional Australia, where there is substantial demand for both water reuse and cost-effective waste disposal in the absence of ocean discharge.
