The comparison of mechanistically different advanced oxidation processes (AOPS) UV/H₂O₂, UV/O₃ and O₃/H₂O₂ needs a non-specific figure-of-merit to avoid influences by system-inherent parameters. The chosen figure-of-merit consists of the electrical energy per order of magnitude in oxidation per m³, EE/O. Results from own experiments were compared with data derived from the literature. Considered were batch-experiments, pilot-plants and full-scale plants. The combination O₃/H₂O₂ proved to be the most efficient process by means of energy consumption irrespective of the size of the plant.
