Generation of hydroxyl radical during chlorination of hydroxyphenols and natural organic matter extracts

Urs von Gunten, Eva Maria Rodriguez Franco

The generation of hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) during the chlorination of air saturated solutions of different hydroxyphenols (hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, gallic and tannic acids) at pH 7 has been determined by the formation of phenol (in ...

Polyphenols as Morphogenetic Agents for the Controlled Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Fabien Sorin, Jialuo Luo

Non-surfactant-induced synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) is gaining increasing interest because of their low toxicity and simple purification compared to conventional surfactant-based methods. Tannic acid (TA), considered as a glucose-de ...

Enhanced transformation of sulfonamide antibiotics by manganese(IV) oxide in the presence of model humic constituents

Urs von Gunten, Jun Ma, Jin Jiang

In this study, a manganese(IV) oxide-mediator (MnO2-mediator) system for the abatement of sulfonamide antibiotics was evaluated. Two simple model humic constituents, syringaldehyde (SA) and acetosyringone (AS), could promote the transformation of sulfonami ...

Antioxidant Assay Based on Quenching of Photocatalytically Generated Reactive Oxygen Species

Hubert Girault, Mohamad Hojeij

A method based on photogeneration of OH radicals in water from TiO2 nanoparticles was developed to study the kinetics of oxidation of organic molecules which were used as biological antioxidants. The kinetics of oxidation of terephthalic acid as a referenc ...

Reaction of bromine and chlorine with phenolic compounds and natural organic matter extracts - Electrophilic aromatic substitution and oxidation

Urs von Gunten, Eva Maria Rodriguez Franco

Phenolic compounds are known structural moieties of natural organic matter (NOM), and their reactivity is a key parameter for understanding the reactivity of NOM and the disinfection by-product formation during oxidative water treatment. In this study, spe ...

Silver release from silver nanoparticles in natural waters

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Jan Dobias

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used increasingly in consumer products for their antimicrobial properties. This increased use raises ecological concern because of the release of AgNPs into the environment. Once released, zero-valent silver may be oxidized ...

Antioxidant Sensors Based on DNA-Modified Electrodes

Hubert Girault, Christophe Roussel

TiO2/ITO modified electrodes were developed to quantitatively photooxidize adsorbed ds-DNA and to study the effect of antioxidants as ds-DNA protecting agents. TiO2 films are used for efficient ds-DNA immobilization, for ds- DNA oxidation through photogene ...
