Although a lot of research has been done to understand mechanistic and kinetic
aspects of AOTs, which can be improved in the future by new investigations, some
requirements are still needed for the wide commercialization, referred to reactor
optimization and modeling.
In conclusion, considerable effort should be made to improve and adapt AOPs for
water and soil treatment, combining the studies with fundamental work for the
thorough understanding of the mechanisms and kinetic aspects related to the
systems.
