Abstract
A wide range of aquatic systems, drinking water, groundwater and surface water is known to includeseveral dangerous organic micropollutants (OMPs). Additionally, a lot of the OMPs that have beenfound are resistant to biodegradation, allowing the possibility of persistence and accumulationin the ecosystem. Although they are present in small amounts, they have the potential to causemajor health issues, such as cancer. Recent studies showed that ultrasonication is very successful inremoving numerous hazardous OMPs from water. However, there is a tendency of combining thismethod with other advanced oxidation processes because of some of this technology’s limitations.This study provided additional evidence that ultrasonication is a highly effective approach forremoving micropollutants from rainwater. The efficiency of this technique can even be higher than80%. Moreover, the addition of ozone and hydrogen peroxide during ultrasonication increased theremoval ratio significantly, which was proportional to the oxidant dosage.
