This study investigates the applicability of advanced oxidation processes (AOP) in municipal wastewater effluents to attenuate trace organic chemicals (TOrCs). Experiments were conducted to (i) investigate the modification potential of full-scale UV-disinfection plants for advanced TOrC removal by UV/H
2O
2 and evaluate process resilience towards water quality changes at pilot-scale, (ii) assess alternative radical promoters for advanced wastewater by UV-AOPs at lab- and pilot-scale, and (iii) explore optical surrogates for UV-AOPs to predict photo-resistant TOrCs.
