Abstract Aromatic amines (AAs), ubiquitous in industrial applications, pose significant environmental hazards due to their resistance to conventional wastewater treatments. Peracetic acid (PAA)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been proposed as effective strategies for addressing persis...
