* Chemical oxidation technologies have been used for many years to degrade a wide range of pollutants in wastewater and drinking water. Advanced chemical oxidation typically involves the use of chemical oxidants (e.g. ozone or hydrogen peroxide) to generate hydroxyl radicals (i.e. ?OH), one of the strongest oxidants known. Hydroxyl radicals are reactive and non-selective, capable of rapidly degrading a number of organic compounds. A brief description of the chemistry of radicals with specific reference to the hydroxyl radical follows. A free radical is a molecule that has an unpaired elect
