The Laboratory for Water Treatment and Quality (LTQE) at EPFL, led by Prof. Urs von Gunten, focuses on oxidation and disinfection processes in drinking water and wastewater treatment. LTQE collaborates closely with the Drinking Water Chemistry Group at Eawag. Research areas include the development of a web-based tool for predicting transformation products of micropollutants, toxicological assessment of transformation products, and studies on the formation of undesired oxidation by-products. The lab also investigates novel treatment methods for the mitigation of bromide- and iodide-related oxidation by-products, as well as hybrid treatment systems for disinfection and micropollutant removal.
