Performance of the solar/peroxymonosulfate process in (waste)water treatment: abatement of micropollutants, roles of reactive oxygen species, and formation of disinfection by-products

This study investigated the effectiveness of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as an oxidative agent in micro-contaminant removal with activation via simulated solar irradiation (Xe-lamp, emission spectrum ranging from 300 to 800 nm).
