Ozone is an excellent disinfectant and can even be used to inactivate microorganisms such as protozoa which are very resistant to conventional disinfectants. Proper rate constants for the inactivation of microorganisms are only available for six species (E ...
The efficiency of a two-step ozonation with regard to disinfection and oxidation of micropollutants; was assessed for a river-water treatment plant (Limmat River, Zurich, Switzerland). The assessment was based on laboratory experiments to estimate transien ...
Disinfection of some microorganisms is characterized by a lag-phase (a minimum required ozone exposure until disinfection occurs). This phenomenon is easy to model in laboratory batch reactors but not in continuous flow mixed reactors. This paper introduce ...
The role was studied, of bulk V2O5 in vanadia/titania catalysts in partial oxidn. of toluene. Two catalysts with 1.8 and 11.1% of V were studied, by in situ DRIFTS and transient-response methods. Bulk V2O5 was found by FT-Raman spectroscopy only in the 11. ...
This paper concerns an evaluation of ozone (O-3) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) dynamics over the complex topography of the Grenoble region through a combination of measurements and mesoscale model (METPHOMOD) predictions for three days, during July 19 ...
Elevated mixing ratios of ozone in the lower troposphere are a major summer time air pollution issue in Europe. Photochemical in-situ production is the most important source of ozone in the planetary boundary layer and has been studied extensively. However ...
Synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline with a 1,4-bridged 10-membered sulfur contg. macrolactone, I (R = CO2CH2CCl3), is described. Phenolic aldolization, Pictet-Spengler cyclization of an acid sensitive amino diol under newly developed conditions (LiBr, tolu ...
The oxidation of organic and inorganic compounds during ozonation can occur via ozone or OH radicals or a combination thereof. The oxidation pathway is determined by the ratio of ozone and OH radical concentrations and the corresponding kinetics. A huge da ...
This study investigates the oxidation of pharmaceuticals during conventional ozonation and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) applied in drinking water treatment. In a first step, second-order rate constants for the reactions of selected pharmaceuticals w ...
Pollution can undergo long-range transport and impact the tropospheric chemistry thousands of kilometers downwind from the source region. Recently, there is interest in the intercontinental transport (ICT) of pollution between the main industrial regions o ...
