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 ...

Kinetic modeling of lag times during photo-induced inactivation of E. coli in sunlit surface waters: Unraveling the pathways of exogenous action

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

This work presents a kinetic analysis of the exogenous photo-induced disinfection of E. coli in natural waters. Herein, the inactivation of bacteria by light and photo-generated transient species, i.e., hydroxyl radical (HO center dot), excited triplet sta ...

Dual Photoredox/Copper Catalysis for the Remote C(sp3 )−H Functionalization of Alcohols and Alkyl Halides by N -Alkoxypyridinium Salts

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Xu Bao

Under mild dual photoredox/copper catalysis, the reaction of N-alkoxypyridinium salts with readily available silyl reagents (TMSN3, TMSCN, TMSNCS) afforded d-azido, d-cyano, and d-thiocyanato alcohols in high yields. The reaction went through a domino proc ...

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 ...

Photoinduced disinfection in sunlit natural waters: Measurement of the second order inactivation rate constants between E-coli and photogenerated transient species

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

This work uncovers the implications of the estimation of exogenous inactivation rates for E. coli after the initial lag phase, and presents a strategy for the determination of the second-order inactivation rate constants (k2nd) of these bacteria with relev ...

Comparison of methylisoborneol and geosmin abatement in surface water by conventional ozonation and an electro-peroxone process

Urs von Gunten, Gang Yu

In this study methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin abatement in a surface water by conventional ozonation and the electro-peroxone (E-peroxone) process was compared. Batch tests with addition of ozone (03) stock solutions and semi-batch tests with continuous ...

Kinetics and mechanisms of nitrate and ammonium formation during ozonation of dissolved organic nitrogen

Urs von Gunten

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is an emerging concern in oxidative water treatment because it exerts oxidant demand and may form nitrogenous oxidation/disinfection by-products. In this study, we investigated the reactions of ozone with DON with a special ...

Abatement of Polychoro-1,3-butadienes in Aqueous Solution by Ozone, UV Photolysis, and Advanced Oxidation Processes (O-3/H2O2 and UV/H2O2)

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee

The abatement of 9 polychloro-1,3-butadienes (CBDs) in aqueous solution by ozone, UV-C(254 nm) photolysis, and the corresponding advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (i.e., O-3/H2O2 and UV/H2O2) was investigated. The following parameters were determined for ...

FeOx magnetization enhancing E-coli inactivation by orders of magnitude on Ag-TiO2 nanotubes under sunlight

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Arnaud Magrez, Sami Rtimi, Ivica Zivkovic, Stefanos Giannakis

Drastic bacterial enhancement was observed when the Ag(3%)-TiO2 nanotubes were modified with FeOx (3%) magnetic oxide. On bare TiO2- nanotubes a reduction of 0.21og(10)CFU was observed within one hour under simulated low intensity solar light. Under simila ...
