Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-products Formed After Chemical Disinfection of Water
(Corresponding) Postigo C., (Corresponding) Andersson A., Mourad H., Bastviken D., Gonsior M., Schmitt-Kopplin P., Gago-Ferrero P., Ahrens L., Ahrens L., Wiberg K.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Chemical disinfection of water has been commonly applied to protect public health from waterborne infectious diseases. Chemical disinfectants are strong oxidants that react with the building blocks or alter the metabolism of pathogenic organisms, killing them as the final consequence. These...Read more
New evidence of accelerated elimination of an emergent water pollutant by TiO2 assisted photo-oxidation
(Corresponding) FAVIER L., LASLAU A., SIMION A., SESCU A., HARJA M., RUSU L.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Over the past few years, the presence of the pharmaceuticals and their metabolites in the aquatic environment has become an important public health issue. These molecules are generally released in the aquatic ecosystem through the effluents of conventional wastewater treatment plants which were not...Read more

Feasibility of reuse filter backwash water as primary/aid coagulant in coagulation-sedimentation process for synthetic effluent
Lilia M., (Corresponding) Djamal A.
Topic:
Water treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of reusing filter backwash water (FBWW) from the water treatment plant (WTP)as a substitute for the conventional coagulants (primary coagulant) in the coagulation-sedimentation process applied for synthetic effluent.The coagulation effect on...Read more
Interactions between microplastics and organic pollutants: Effects on transport and bioaccumulation: from the lab to the environment
(Corresponding) Picó Y., Campo J., Alfarhan A., El-Sheikh M., Barceló D.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
Microplastics (MPs) have the ability to extract/preconcentrate other contaminants from water samples and could also act as vectors to other environmental compartments. The occurrence and distribution of MPs in different points of Al-Jubail, the most important industrial city, and the second biggest...Read more

Enhanced-Electrocoagulation For Organic Matter Removal From Surface Drinking Water Sources: Operational Parameters And Energy Consumption
(Corresponding) Daraei H., Intwala P., Awad J., Bertone E., Chow C., Duan J., Stewart R., Leuuwen J.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this study, an Enhanced Electro-Coagulation (En-EC) technique is described for the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from surface drinking water sources. Assessment of the En-EC technique included investigation of the impacts of operational factors on the organic removal efficiency (R%)...Read more

APPLICABILITY OF SULFATE RADICAL BASED ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESSES FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
(Corresponding) Dilsizoğlu Akyol N., Ölmez Hancı T.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Natural Organic Matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds that are naturally present in water sources. NOM itself is not toxic, but its presence can have negative impacts on the quality of drinking water. It is important to remove NOM from drinking water sources through various...Read more
Unveiling the transformation of dissolved organic matter in drinking water treatments based on FT-ICR-MS and spectral analysis
Yueting W., (Corresponding) Hang X., Tianpei M.
Topic:
Water treatment
The use of fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) systematically provide more comprehensive information on the changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition and characteristic in water treatments. Therefore,...Read more
