The initial phase of ozone decomposition in natural water (t < 20 s) is poorly understood. It has recently been shown to result in very high transient HO center dot concentrations and, thereby, plays an essential role during processes such as bromate forma ...
Due to a lack of adequate experimental techniques, the kinetics of the first 20 s of ozone decomposition in natural water and wastewater is still poorly understood. Introducing a continuous quench-flow system (CQFS), measurements starting 350 ms after ozon ...
The present thesis work deals with the investigation of the heterogeneous reactions involving nitrate radical (NO3), dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) and ozone (O3) on surrogates of atmospheric mineral dust particles characteristic of the troposphere. An additi ...
The formation of bromate levels exceeding the drinking water standard of 10 mu g L-1 may impose the reduction of ozone doses used in the treatment of drinking water. This paper illustrates the procedure of evaluating the use of reduced ozone doses while im ...
The catalytic decomposition of ozone (200-1600 ppm) to molecular oxygen was investigated over activated carbons in the form of woven fibre fabrics (ACF) or granules (ACG) at room temperature. The dynamics of carbon activity was characterised by two distinc ...
Ozonation of drinking water results in the formation of low molecular weight (LMW) organic by-products. These compounds are easily utilisable by microorganisms and can result in biological instability of the water. In this study, we have combined a novel b ...
The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of O-3/granular activated carbon (GAC) to enhance ozone transformation into circle OH radicals, with the common advanced oxidation processes (O-3/OH-, O-3/H2O2). The results obtained with model syst ...
A novel, highly blue luminescent molecule containing donor and acceptor groups, 4,4 prime -di-(2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl)-2,2 prime -bipyridine, that shows photoluminescence emission at 450 nm with 43% quantum yield is designed and synthesized. Time d ...
The efficiency of Co(II)-, Mn(II)-, and Ti(IV)-doped carbon aerogels for the transformation of ozone into center dot OH radicals was investigated. The carbon aerogels had a markedly acid surface character (pH(PZC)congruent to 3-4) with very high surface ox ...
Kinetics and product formation of the anti-epileptic drug carbamazepine (CBZ) were investigated in lab-scale experiments during reactions with ozone and OH radicals. Ozone reacts rapidly with the double bond in CBZ, yielding several ozonation products cont ...
