The 23rd International Conference on Advanced Oxidation Technologies for Treatment of Water, Air and Soil (AOTs-23), Clearwater, FL, November 13 - 16, 2017

This international conference has been bringing together interested parties from universities, research institutions and industry to exchange information, views, experience and perspectives. The scope of AOTs-24 is now broadened to include in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO)/in-situ chemical reduction (ISCR) technologies for treatment of soil and groundwater and the regeneration of spent sorbents (i.e. carbon) by chemical oxidation. Thus, AOTs-24 presents the most current findings generated at the laboratories of universities and research institutions, as well as in the field by the practitioners.
