Kinetic and mechanistic understanding of chlorite oxidation during chlorination: Optimization of ClO2 pre-oxidation for disinfection byproduct control

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) applications to drinking water are limited by the formation of chlorite (ClO2-) which is regulated in many countries. However, when ClO2 is used as a pre-oxidant, ClO2- can be oxidized by chlorine during subsequent disinfection. In ...

Insights into the Horizontal and Vertical Profiles of Microplastics in a River Emptying into the Sea Affected by Intensive Anthropogenic Activities in Northern China

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yang Liu, Wenxin Liu

Studies focused only on surface water may underestimate microplastic abundance in aquatic environments. This was the first survey to investigate the vertical (surface, intermediate, and bottom waters) distribution and composition of microplastics (MPs) in ...

Towards tailored cement-based materials with ground calcium carbonates

Emmanuel Denarié, Lionel Sofia

Proportioning the dosage of Ground Calcium Carbonates (GCC) in cementitious materials, beyond current normative levels, is one of the most promising ways towards sustainability of mortar and concrete technology. Performance parameters such as the water/bin ...

UV disinfection of human norovirus: evaluating infectivity using a genome-wide PCR-based approach

Tamar Kohn, Krista Rule Wigginton, Brian Pecson, Suzanne Marie Young

The removal and inactivation of infectious human norovirus is a major focus in water purification, but its fate through disinfection treatment processes is largely unknown owing to the lack of a readily available infectivity assay. In particular, norovirus ...

Ruthenium(II)–arene and triruthenium-carbonyl cluster complexes with new water-soluble phopsphites based on glucose: Synthesis, characterization and antiproliferative activity

Paul Joseph Dyson, Alexey Nazarov, Olivier Pierre Zava

New water-soluble 3,5,6-bicyclophosphite ligands based on glucose modified with uracil, 5-fluorouracil or thymine are reported. The phosphite ligands were subsequently reacted with bis[dichlorido(η6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II)] and trirutheniumdodecacarbonyl to ...

Jumping dynamics of aquatic animals

Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot

Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions r ...
