Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are gaining attention in sewage treatment as a further cleaning step for the elimination of persistent organic substances. Three designed laboratory‐scale AOP reactors are presented and their energetic consumption when treating indigo carmine as a test organic compound is assessed. A photolytic (UV/H₂O₂) and a photo‐Fenton reactor with one ultraviolet and three fluorescent lamps, respectively, and an electrolytic system consisting of a boron‐doped diamond electrode were built. When considering total energy consumption, substantial differences arose due to the stirring devices.</p> </abstract>
