description <p>Treated sewage effluent (TSE) is a critical non-potable water source in arid regions such as Qatar, yet residual micropollutants pose environmental and health risks. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) offer promising solutions, but their performance in local wastewater matrices remains underexplored. A pilot-scale study evaluated ozonation (O₃), ozone–hydrogen peroxide (O₃-H₂O₂), and UV‑hydrogen peroxide (UV-H₂O₂) for micropollutant removal from ultrafiltration-treated TSE. Influent and effluent were analysed for 243 pesticides and 56 pharmaceuticals. Removal efficiency, electrical energy per order (EEO), and cost were assessed. Nine pesticides and fifteen pharmaceuticals were detected, including fipronil (0.413 μg/L), thiamethoxam (0.292 μg/L), iohexol (4.06 μg/L), and iopamidol (3.17 μg/L). Ozonation at 3–4 mg/L achieved 80–90 % removal for most pesticides; acetamiprid remained resistant (~50 %). Nearly all pharmaceuticals were reduced below reporting limits except iodinated contrast media, which UV-H₂O₂ removed most effectively (≈79–86 %). O₃-H₂O₂ improved the degradation of ozone-resistant compounds. EEO was <0.3 kWh m−3 for ozone-based AOPs for most of the compounds. A cost assessment at 200,000 m3/d showed unit costs of $0.019/m3 (O₃), $0.023/m3 (O₃–H₂O₂), and $0.124/m3 (UV–H₂O₂), confirming the economic advantage of ozone-based options at scale. Ozonation (dose of 1.0 mg O3/mg DOC) is recommended as the baseline AOP, followed by biologically active or granular activated carbon to address residuals and transformation products.</p><h2>Other Information</h2> <p> Published in: Journal of Water Process Engineering<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jwpe.2025.108710" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jwpe.2025.108710</a></p>
