31 Take-home Messages Oxidative Processes can be used to meet (additional) goals of water and wastewater treatment Optimized technical use requires a profound understanding of chemistry of oxidant species including formation of oxidation byproducts For micropollutant elimination detailed knowledge of transformation reaction is needed but enormous effort needed Comprehensive economical and effect-orientied evaluations are still largely lacking
