Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Developmental Toxicity of New Aromatic Halogenated DBPs in a Chlorinated Saline Sewage Effluent to the Marine Polychaete Platynereis dumerilii
Mengting Yang,Xiangru Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: The QSAR can well predict the developmental toxicity of most of the DBPs tested and involved two physical-chemical property descriptors and two electronic descriptors to indicate the transport, biouptake, and biointeraction of these DBPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative toxicity of new halophenolic DBPs in chlorinated saline wastewater effluents against a marine alga: Halophenolic DBPs are generally more toxic than haloaliphatic ones
Jiaqi Liu,Xiangru Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: A quantitative structure-toxicity relationship was developed for the halophenolic DBPs, by employing three physicochemical descriptors (log K(ow), pKa and molar topological index) and gave a good prediction of the algal toxicity of the tested halophenolics DBPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four Groups of New Aromatic Halogenated Disinfection Byproducts: Effect of Bromide Concentration on Their Formation and Speciation in Chlorinated Drinking Water
Yang Pan,Xiangru Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that increasing the bromide concentration shifted the entire polar halogenated DBPs as well as the four groups of new DBPs from being less brominate to being more brominated; these new aromatic halogenate DBPs might be important intermediate DBPs formed in drinking water chlorination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and Decomposition of New and Unknown Polar Brominated Disinfection Byproducts during Chlorination
Hongyan Zhai,Xiangru Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: The "black box" from the input of "humic substances + bromide + chlorine" through the output of "haloacetic acids + trihalomethanes" was opened to a significant extent and the whole picture of the formation and decomposition of polar Br-DBPs during chlorination was revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of Intermediate Aromatic Halogenated DBPs by Activated Carbon Adsorption: A New Approach to Controlling Halogenated DBPs in Chlorinated Drinking Water
TL;DR: This work proposed a new approach to controlling drinking water halogenated DBPs by GAC adsorption of intermediate aromatic halogenate DBPs during chlorination, rather than by Gac adsorptive of NOM prior to chlorination (i.e., traditional approach).
