Most peri-alpine shallow aquifers fed by rivers are oxic and the drinking water derived by riverbank filtration is generally of excellent quality. However, observations during past heat waves suggest that water quality may be affected by climate change due ...
The kinetics of Ultraviolet C (UV-C)-induced direct phototransformation of four representative pharmaceuticals, i.e., 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2), diclofenac, sulfa methoxazole, and iopromide, was investigated in dilute solutions of pure water buffered ...
Due to a distortion of its hexagonal unit cell along the c-axis compared to hexagonal-close-packed metals (c/a = 1.856 instead of 1.633), zinc is characterised by a large anisotropy of its solid-liquid interfacial energy. While previous studies have focuse ...
Non-stabilized Argon Oxygen Decarburisation (AODNS) slag in powdered form was examined for its carbon dioxide sequestration capacity and for its potential utilisation in the fabrication of high value building materials. The curing of the sample was carried ...
This Ph.D. work deals with the development of lanthanide-based bioprobes for biomedical analyses and imaging. For this purpose, two different approaches have been followed, one focusing on visible-emitting complexes, while the second addresses the sensitiz ...
This thesis investigates the replacement of Portland cement by addition of high amounts of calcined clays and limestone. Such ternary blends can become more ecological and economical binders to answer the worldwide housing shortage. It could be demonstrate ...
The oxidation of dissolved manganese(II) (Mn(II)) during chlorination is a relatively slow process which may lead to residual Mn(II) in treated drinking waters. Chemical Mn(II) oxidation is autocatalytic and consists of a homogeneous and a heterogeneous pr ...
The continuous surveillance of drinking water is extremely important to provide early warning of contamination and to ensure continuous supplies of healthy drinking water. Isolation and detection of a particular type of pathogen present at low concentratio ...
This article presents a comprehensive modeling of temperature, carbonation, water and chloride ions transport in cover concrete using the transport model "TransChlor". The TransChlor transport model employs weather data and chloride ion concentrations pres ...
The photo-disinfection of natural alkaline surface water (pH 8.6 +/- 0.3) for drinking purposes was carried out under solar radiation treatments. The enteric bacteria studied were the wild total coliforms/Escherichia coli (10(4) CFU/ml) and Salmonella spp. ...
