Numerous inorganic and organic micropollutants can undergo reactions with chlorine. However, for certain compounds, the expected chlorine reactivity is low and only small modifications in the parent compound's structure are expected under typical water tre ...
The formation of bromophenols during chlorination of phenol- and bromide-containing waters can be critical for taste and odour problems in drinking waters. The work performed has confirmed that flavour threshold concentrations of some bromophenols are in t ...
The applicability of ozonation to mitigate taste and odor problems in drinking water was investigated. Second-order rate constants of eleven taste and odor compounds with ozone and hydroxyl radicals were determined under laboratory conditions. Measured rat ...
As the World Health Organization (WHO) progresses with provisional Drinking Water Guidelines of 1 mu g/L for microcystin-LR and a proposed Guideline of 1 mu g/L for cylindrospermopsin, efficient treatment strategies are needed to prevent cyanotoxins such a ...
Although generally accepted as a necessary step to improve water management and planning, integrated water resources management (IWRM) methodology does not provide a clear definition of what should be integrated. The various water-related issues that IWRM ...
This study investigates the factors that determine parameter uncertainty when applying predefined, existing models to predict the performance of a full scale treatment system from environmental engineering. The analysis is performed for ozonation of surfac ...
Chemical kinetics were determined for the reactions of ozone and hydroxyl radicals with the three cyanotoxins microcystin-LR (MC-LR), cylindrospermopsin (CYN) and anatoxin-a (ANTX). The second-order rate constants (k(O3)) at pH 8 were 4.1 +/- 0.1 x 10(5) M ...
The purpose of this article is to identify possible scenarios for the evolution of the European water supply and sanitation sectors (WSS) in the next 15 years, on the basis of empirical knowledge of its dynamics. These are: tendered market, tendered market ...
The oxidation of iodide by synthetic birnessite (delta-MnO2) was studied in perchlorate media in the pH range 4-8. Iodine (I-2) was detected as an oxidation product that was subsequently further oxidized to iodate (IO3-). The third order rate constants, se ...
This paper estimates a translog cost function for Swiss water utilities. From the cost function, we are able to estimate measures of marginal costs as well as economies of production density, customer density and scale, which are important determinants in ...
