A taste and odour (T&O) episode in a Swiss town, where consumers complained about a musty odour in their drinking water, was investigated. The application of a combined organoleptic and instrumental method for T&O analysis allowed the identification of 2,4 ...
An important issue in chlorine drinking water disinfection is the generation from natural organic matter (NOM) of disinfection by-products (DBPs), especially trihalomethanes (THMs). The THMs generation can be limited by reducing the levels of NOM prior to ...
Oxidative processes are often harnessed as tools for pathogen disinfection. Although the pathways responsible for bacterial inactivation with various biocides are fairly well understood, virus inactivation mechanisms are often contradictory or equivocal. I ...
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 ...
The oxidation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) precursors during water treatment was investigated using ozone and chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Second-order rate constants for the reactions of model NDMA precursors (dimethylamine (DMA) and 7 tertiary amines) wi ...
Bromate (BrO3–) in drinking water is traditionally seen as an ozonation byproduct from the oxidation of bromide (Br–), and its formation during chlorination is usually not significant. This study shows enhanced bromate formation during chlorination of brom ...
Background, aim and scope After the discovery of chloroform in drinking water, an extensive amount of work has been dedicated to the factors influencing the formation of halogenated disinfections by-products (DBPs). The disinfection practice can vary signi ...
Organohalide respiration (previously named as dehalorespiration) is a process during which microbes derive energy by the reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated organic pollutants and use them as terminal electron acceptors, hence helping in environmental ...
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 ...
Background. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of new processes for water disinfection since the traditional processes, such as chlorination, can lead to the production of toxic disinfection by-products. Sunlight has been ...
