Prior to comparison, catalyst used in heterogenous catalytic O3 and operation parameters for each technology were optimized. The COD removal of CuO@Al2O3/O3 under its optimal parameters was 57.2%, which failed to meet the standard (≥75%). In contrast, the COD removal by UV/O3 could be 82.3%. The superior efficiency of UV/O3 over CuO@Al2O3/O3 could be summarized into three aspects: (I) Cu bounded ·OH (≡Cu–O·) preferentially attacked hydrophilic groups, while free hydroxyl radical (·OH) was non-selective, thus UV/O3 exhibited a unique three-stage mechanism; (II) The oxidation potential of ≡Cu–O· was higher than that of ·OH, therefore was more vulnerable to the negative effect of radical self-quenching; (III) The existence of UV-induced excited states made organics in UV/O3 more active than in CuO@Al2O3/O3 system, thus high concentration of anions enhanced COD removal in UV/O3 but affected that in CuO@Al2O3/O3. The study further revealed the characteristics of heterogeneous catalytic O3 and UV/O3, and UV induced excited state should be considered in UV-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
