Event International Conference: Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP’TUNISIA) “for sustainable water management”

1-Need 

Water is considered a natural wealth and has to be protected and reused to guarantee the sustainable satisfaction of all needs of citizens and economic sectors. However in Tunisia, and in the Mediterranean region, the pressure on water resources is high, so there is no water to “waste”. Water is becoming a limiting factor for agricultural, and even for industrial development. Treated wastewater is part of the community’s water resources and one component of sustainable water management approach which acts at the source at the smallest possible level. The direct reuse, instead of wastewater discharge in the network, reduces costs of treatment and throwing of recalcitrant compounds into a water stream (prevention of pollution and protection of water system). To reach this purpose, water treatment technologies should target (i) pollutants degradation, (ii) multi-purpose water use and (iii) sustainability of the technologies advanced.

2-Importance

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are progressing rapidly all over the world as they have proved to be successful in degradation of recalcitrant compounds and a tool to meet increasingly stringent global regulations as well as protecting public health and the environment. Thus AOPs appears in many research as strong alternatives in many applications for complete elimination of recalcitrant compounds in water and/or to improve the biodegradation of wastewaters by partial oxidation.

3-Motivation

Our motivation is, first, to group researchers and their partners in this topic for better interaction, synergy and national/ African/ Mediterranean/ international impacts. Second motivation is to exchange and to discuss the latest results on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) in the field of pollutant, water and wastewater with international research community. Finally to construct a network in this topic with the purpose to develop projects, to overcome the drawbacks of AOPs, and improved focus on research, development and application.

4-Key words

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), Ozonation, Electrochemical oxidation, photocatalyse, Fenton, Persistent and recalcitrant pollutants, Industrial wastewater, Wastewater treatment, Anthropogenic micropollutants, POPs, combined processes, oxidation processes.
