Advances in predicting organic contaminant abatement during ozonation of municipal wastewater effluent: reaction kinetics, transformation products, and changes of biological effects

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation of municipal wastewater effluent has been considered in recent years as an enhanced wastewater treatment technology to abate trace organic contaminants (micropollutants). The efficiency of ozonation for micropollutant abatement depends on (1) the ...

Effect of Ozone Treatment on Nano-Sized Silver Sulfide in Wastewater Effluent

Urs von Gunten

Silver nanoparticles used in consumer products are likely to be released into municipal wastewater. Transformation reactions, most importantly sulfidation, lead to the formation of nanoscale silver sulfide (nano-Ag2S) particles. In wastewater treatment pla ...
