Abstract
The present invention provides a method for removing contaminants from a waste fluid stream. The method includes contacting a waste fluid stream with a promoter of hydroxyl radicals to entrain the promoter of hydroxyl radicals in the waste fluid stream, passing the waste fluid stream having the promoter of hydroxyl radicals entrained therewithin along a substantially tortuous path to allow the promoter of hydroxyl radicals to dwell within the waste fluid stream and to further entrain the promoter of hydroxyl radicals in the waste fluid stream, and irradiating the waste fluid stream with ultraviolet radiation. The present invention also provides an apparatus for removing contaminants from a waste fluid stream.
