Peracetic Acid Oxidation of Saline Waters in the Absence and Presence of H2O2: Secondary Oxidant and Disinfection Byproduct Formation

Urs von Gunten

Peracetic acid (PAA) is a disinfectant considered for use in ballast water treatment, but its chemical behavior in such systems (i.e., saline waters) is largely unknown. In this study, the reactivity of PAA with halide ions (chloride and bromide) to form s ...

The NPR1-dependent salicylic acid signalling pathway is pivotal for enhanced salt and oxidative stress tolerance in Arabidopsis

Amandine Massart

The role of endogenous salicylic acid (SA) signalling cascades in plant responses to salt and oxidative stresses is unclear. Arabidopsis SA signalling mutants, namely npr1-5 (non-expresser of pathogenesis related gene1), which lacks NPR1-dependent SA signa ...

Formation of disinfection by-products during ballast water treatment with ozone, chlorine, and peracetic acid: influence of water quality parameters

Urs von Gunten

As ocean-going ships begin implementing chemical disinfection to treat ballast water, the potential formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) is an important issue of concern. This is especially critical since ballast waters are often saline, and the in ...

Understanding the Impact of Bromide on the Photovoltaic Performance of CH3NH3PbI3 Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Thomas Moehl, Neha Arora, Mojtaba Abdi Jalebi

An optimum amount of lead bromide (1%) can enhance the power conversion efficiency of CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx (where x approximate to 0) devices from 14.7% to 16.9% without altering the bandgap of the perovskite material. ...

Oxidative treatment of bromide-containing waters: Formation of bromine and its reactions with inorganic and organic compounds - A critical review

Urs von Gunten, Michèle Bernadette Heeb, Saskia Gisela Zimmermann-Steffens

Bromide (Br-) is present in all water sources at concentrations ranging from similar to 10 to >1000 mu g L-1 in fresh waters and about 67 mg L-1 in seawater. During oxidative water treatment bromide is oxidized to hypobromous acid/hypobromite (HOBr/OBr-) a ...

Reactivity of BrCl, Br2, BrOCl, Br2O and HOBr toward dimethenamid in solutions of bromide + aqueous free chlorine

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher

HOBr, formed via oxidation of bromide by free available chlorine (FAC), is frequently assumed to be the sole species responsible for generating brominated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Our studies reveal that BrCl, Br-2, BrOCl, and Br2O can also serve as ...

Oxidation of Manganese(II) during Chlorination: Role of Bromide

Urs von Gunten

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 ...

Ozonation of iodide-containing waters: Selective oxidation of iodide to iodate with simultaneous minimization of bromate and I-THMs

Urs von Gunten

The presence of iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) in drinking water poses a potential health concern since it has been shown that I-DBPs are generally more genotoxic and cytotoxic than their chlorinated and brominated analogs. I-DBPs are formed d ...
