A Tale of Two Treatments: The Multiple Barrier Approach to Removing Chemical Contaminants During Potable Water Reuse

Urs von Gunten

In response to water scarcity and an increased recognition of the risks associated with the presence of chemical contaminants, environmental engineers have developed advanced water treatment systems that are capable of converting municipal wastewater efflu ...

Fate of Cr(III) during ozonation of secondary municipal wastewater effluent

Urs von Gunten, Caroline Gachet Aquillon

In the present study, the fate of trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) during ozonation of ultrapurified water and wastewater effluent was investigated. In experiments conducted in phosphate buffered ultrapurified water, O3 alone in excess was inefficient to oxidi ...

Ozonation of municipal wastewater effluent containing metal sulfides and metal complexes: Kinetics and mechanisms

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation can be applied to mitigate the discharge of organic micropollutants from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to the aquatic environment. The toxicity of metals also present in WWTP effluents strongly depends on their speciation. Therefo ...

Analysis of antibiotic multi-resistant bacteria and resistance genes in the effluent of an intensive shrimp farm (Long An, Vietnam)

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Pierre Rossi

In Vietnam, intensive shrimp farms heavily rely on a wide variety of antibiotics (ABs) to treat animals or prevent disease outbreak. Potential for the emergence of multi-resistant bacteria is high, with the concomitant contamination of adjacent natural aqu ...

Role of microbial cell properties on bacterial pathogen and coliphage removal in biochar-modified stormwater biofilters

Stormwater biofilters are distributed stormwater control measures for managing urban runoff. Recent work has shown that adding biochar to biofilters can reduce stormwater contaminant concentrations, including fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). However, the po ...

Effect of Fe(II)/Fe(III) species, pH, irradiance and bacterial presence on viral inactivation in wastewater by the photo-Fenton process: Kinetic modeling and mechanistic interpretation

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Michaël Bensimon, Stefanos Giannakis, Anna Carratala Ripolles

Advanced Oxidation Processes and in particular photo-Fenton, represent promising strategies of pathogen inactivation in wastewater effluents. Nevertheless, its full potential is not yet unlocked, as the efficacy of photo-Fenton against viruses has not been ...

Nitrate formation during ozonation as a surrogate parameter for abatement of micropollutants and the N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) formation potential

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Jun Ma

In this study, nitrate formation from ammonium and/or dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) was investigated as a novel surrogate parameter to evaluate the abatement of micropollutants during ozonation of synthetic waters containing natural organic matter (NOM) ...

Performance evaluation of 388 full-scale waste stabilization pond systems with seven different configurations

Matthew Eric Verbyla

Waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) and their variants are one the most widely used wastewater treatment systems in the world. However, the scarcity of systematic performance data from fullscale plants has led to challenges associated with their design. The o ...
