Mechanistic insights on interactions of dissolved organic matter with chemical oxidants: quantification of reactive sites and identification of oxidation byproducts

Chemical oxidants including ozone (O3), chlorine (HOCl/OCl-) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are applied for disinfection of drinking water. To cope with water scarcity and the increased risks associated with the presence of micropollutants, water treatment sy ...

Ozonation of organic compounds in water and wastewater: A critical review

Urs von Gunten, Sung Eun Lim

Ozonation has been applied in water treatment for more than a century, first for disinfection, later for oxidation of inorganic and organic pollutants. In recent years, ozone has been increasingly applied for enhanced municipal wastewater treatment for eco ...

Development of remote C-H bond functionalization of redox-active alcohol derivatives and oxidative transformations under photoredox catalysis

Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

The development of radical-based remote C(sp3)-H functionalizations of redox-active alcohol derivatives, oxidative cycloaddition and rearrangement transformations under visible light photocatalysis constitute the basis of this thesis. The first chapter des ...

Reactions of nitrogen-containing compounds with ozone: kinetics and mechanisms

Sung Eun Lim

Nitrogen-containing moieties are widespread in natural waters in dissolved organic nitrogen and micropollu-tants. They are often susceptible to an electrophilic attack of ozone because of the electron-rich nature of the neutral form of nitrogen in organic ...

Reactions of aliphatic amines with ozone: Kinetics and mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Sung Eun Lim

Aliphatic amines are common constituents in micropollutants and dissolved organic matter and present in elevated concentrations in wastewater-impacted source waters. Due to high reactivity, reactions of aliphatic amines with ozone are likely to occur durin ...

Specific and total N -nitrosamines formation potentials of nitrogenous micropollutants during chloramination

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Caroline Gachet Aquillon, Andrea Piazzoli

N-nitrosamines are a group of potent human carcinogens that can be formed during oxidative treatment of drinking water and wastewater. Many tertiary and quaternary amines present in consumer products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, personal care and household prod ...

Formation of brominated trihalomethanes during chlorination or ozonation of natural organic matter extracts and model compounds in saline water

Urs von Gunten

Oxidation experiments (chlorine, ozone and bromine) were carried out with synthetic saline waters containing natural organic matter (NOM) extracts and model compounds to evaluate the potential of these surrogates to mimic the formation of brominated trihal ...

Reaction dynamics of in aqueous amines from ab initio molecular dynamics: 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD) compared to monoethanolamine (MEA)

Wanda Andreoni, Changru Ma, Fabio Pietrucci

We present Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations-combined with metadynamics-of the reactions accompanying the capture of in an aqueous amine solution. The selected amine is 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, which has been investigated experimentall ...

Synthetic Approaches to Functional Derivatives of Cycl[3.2.2]Azine-1,2-Dicarboxylic Acid - Perspective Building Blocks for pi-Extended Macrocyclic Compounds

Fedor Zhurkin

One of the actual goals in the field of macrocyclic research is to provide accessible chemically robust compounds with absorption in the NIR spectral region. This requirement can be fulfilled in the case of tetrapyrrolic derivatives such as porphyrins, pht ...

Aqueous Oxidation of Sulfonamide Antibiotics: Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution of an Aniline Radical Cation

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher

Sulfonamide antibiotics are an important class of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment. For several, sulfur dioxide extrusion products have been previously reported upon photochemical or dark oxidation. Using quantum chemical modeling calcula ...
