Territorial reading in Ukraine’s recovery policy: conceptual and methodological gaps

Approaches to Ukraine’s wartime and anticipated post-war reconstruction and recovery, united under a general slogan of ‘build back better’, are currently reflected in multiple policies, regulations, planning tools and data registers, as well as showcased t ...

Evaluation of the role of superoxide radical as chain carrier for the formation of hydroxyl radical during ozonation

Urs von Gunten, Yan Wang, Gang Yu

Superoxide radicals (O-2(center dot-)) have been suggested as an important chain carrier in the radical chain reaction that promotes ozone (O-3) decomposition to hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) during ozonation. However, due to the difficulty in meas ...

Bacterial inactivation in sunlit surface waters is dominated by reactive species that emanate from the synergy between light, iron, and natural organic matter

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Jun Ma, Da Wang, Shuang Song

In this study, the synergistic and antagonistic effects of Fe species and coexisting natural organic matter (NOM) on the efficacy of solar light disinfection of water are investigated. Different initial iron species (Fe2+/Fe3+) and naturalorganic matter ty ...

Kinetic and mechanistic understanding of chlorite oxidation during chlorination: Optimization of ClO2 pre-oxidation for disinfection byproduct control

Urs von Gunten, Yun Ho Lee

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) applications to drinking water are limited by the formation of chlorite (ClO2-) which is regulated in many countries. However, when ClO2 is used as a pre-oxidant, ClO2- can be oxidized by chlorine during subsequent disinfection. In ...

Integrating Inland and Coastal Water Quality Data for Actionable Knowledge

Damien Bouffard, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Theo Baracchini

Water quality measures for inland and coastal waters are available as discrete samples from professional and volunteer water quality monitoring programs and higher-frequency, near-continuous data from automated in situ sensors. Water quality parameters als ...

Detrimental vs. beneficial influence of ions during solar (SODIS) and photo-Fenton disinfection of E. coli in water: (Bi)carbonate, chloride, nitrate and nitrite effects

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

In this work, we studied the effect of inorganic ions occurring in natural waters on E. coli inactivation by solar and photo-Fenton processes, two crucial methods for drinking water treatment in sunny or developing countries. HCO3-, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, NO2- ...

Desalinization and Salinization: A Review of Major Challenges for Coastal Reservoirs

David Andrew Barry

Coastal reservoirs are a possible solution to water supply and management issues in coastal zones. However, salinization can degrade the utility of such reservoirs. Two related major challenges affecting the operation of a coastal reservoir are desalinizat ...

Fast Potentiometric CO2 Sensor for High-Resolution in Situ Measurements in Fresh Water Systems

Nadezda Pankratova, Bernhard Wehrli

We present a new potentiometric sensor principle and a calibration protocol for in situ profiling of dissolved CO2 with high temporal and spatial resolution in fresh water lakes. The sensor system is based on the measurement of EMF between two solid-contac ...

Bacteria-induced mixing in natural waters

Alfred Johny Wüest, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner, Talia Ekin Tokyay Sinha

Swimming organisms can enhance mixing in their natural environments by creating eddies in their wake and by dragging water along. However, these mixing mechanisms are inefficient for microorganisms, because swimming-induced variations in velocity, temperat ...

Interactions of TiO2 nanoparticles and the freshwater nematode Plectus aquatilis: particle properties, kinetic parameters and bioconcentration factors

Kristin Schirmer, Julita Maria Stadnicka-Michalak, Laura Sigg

Principles for determining uptake kinetics and bioconcentration factors for nanoparticles and test organisms have only been cursorily explored. Here we report the derivation of bioconcentration factors (BCFs) and the role of surface functionalization in th ...
