Mechanistic insights on interactions of dissolved organic matter with chemical oxidants: quantification of reactive sites and identification of oxidation byproducts
Chemical oxidants including ozone (O3), chlorine (HOCl/OCl-) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are applied for disinfection of drinking water. To cope with water scarcity and the increased risks associated with the presence of micropollutants, water treatment sy ...
EPFL2023Formation of carbonyl compounds during ozonation of lake water and wastewater: Development of a non-target screening method and quantification of target compounds
Urs von Gunten, Joanna Maria Houska
Ozonation of natural waters is typically associated with the formation of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones and ketoacids), a main class of organic disinfection byproducts (DBPs). However, the detection of carbonyl compounds in water and wastewater is ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Oxidative Water Treatment: The Track Ahead
Chemical oxidation has been applied in municipal water treatment for more than a century, initially for disinfection. In the early decades, chlorine disinfection was adopted in the fight against waterborne disease. However, the oxidative properties of chlo ...

Luc Girardin, Jessen Page, Alberto Mian, Samuel Henchoz, Patrick Chatelan, Cédric Dorsaz
Anergy networks with water circulation are an efficient solution for the supply of urban heating services, but require a bulky and expensive infrastructure with higher energy consumption. Replacing water with CO2 enables a more compact solution with lower ...
Office fédéral de l’énergie OFEN, Section Recherche énergétique et cleantech2023Predicting Transformation Products during Aqueous Oxidation Processes: Current State and Outlook
Water quality and its impacts on human and ecosystem health presents tremendous global challenges. While oxidative water treatment can solve many of these problems related to hygiene and micropollutants, identifying and predicting transformation products f ...
2023Critical Review on Bromate Formation during Ozonation and Control Options for Its Minimization
Ozone is a commonly applied disinfectant and oxidantin drinkingwater and has more recently been implemented for enhanced municipalwastewater treatment for potable reuse and ecosystem protection. Onedrawback is the potential formation of bromate, a possible ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Efficacy and health benefits of different water distribution systems in informal settlements: a cross-sectional study in Nairobi, Kenya
Jérôme Chenal, Vitor Pessoa Colombo, Jürg Utzinger
Access to safe water sources, whenever needed, is a human right. However, attending to this fundamental right remains challenging in informal settlements. Consequently, these settlements are more exposed to risk factors of several diseases related to the l ...
2023Advances in polymer-based nanocomposite membranes for water remediation: Preparation methods, critical issues and mechanisms
Membrane technology is a growing tool for contaminants removal from polluted water. Although various types of polymeric membranes have been developed for water remediation, the common drawbacks like fouling, hydrophobicity and low mechanical strength are y ...
