Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are increasingly applied in water and wastewater
treatment. Understanding the role of reactive species using probes and quenchers is one of …

This study is the first to demonstrate the capability of Cl–to markedly accelerate organic
oxidation using thermally activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under acidic conditions. The …

The multiple reactive oxidants produced during chlorine photolysis effectively degrade
organic contaminants during water treatment, but their role in disinfection byproduct (DBP) …

Chlorination is necessary to prevent epidemics of waterborne disease however excess
chlorination is wasteful, produces harmful disinfection byproducts, exacerbates corrosion …

Water disinfection is used in drinking water treatment to protect public health by controlling
microbial pathogens that cause waterborne diseases. Water disinfectants also react with …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition influences the formation of disinfection
byproducts (DBPs) during drinking water treatment, yet the role of DOM composition at the …

Chlorine photolysis is an advanced oxidation process that relies on the combination of direct
chlorination by free available chlorine, direct photolysis, and reactive oxidants to transform …

Halogenation and oxidation of organic matter in chlorinated and chloraminated water are
typically attributed to the most abundant electrophiles present. This interpretation sometimes …

Potable reuse of wastewater is expanding, and ozonation for water reuse is becoming more
common, either as a preoxidant before membranes or as part of ozone/biological activated …

Free available chlorine (FAC) is the most widely used chemical for disinfection and in
secondary disinfection; a minimum chlorine residual must be present in the distribution …
