Formation of CX3R-type disinfection by-products during the chlorination of protein: The effect of enzymolysis

TL;DR: In this study, a well-characterized protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as model compound to investigate the effect of enzymolysis on the formation of four classes of CX3R-type DBPs during chlorination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of dissolved organic matter during biological wastewater treatment and relationships with the formation of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the transformation of DOM and the abatement of N-DBP precursors during different types of biological wastewater treatment (e.g., anaerobic/anoxic/oxic activated sludge processes and membrane bioreactor) using high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) with dissolved organic carbon, UV, and fluorescence detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of oxidation ditch and anaerobic-anoxic-oxic processes on CX3R-type disinfection by-product formation during wastewater treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of biological wastewater treatment processes on the formation of CX3R-type disinfection by-products (DBPs), posing great threat to the aquatic ecosystem of the receiving water body and the public health in the downstream area.

Defining the molecular properties of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) precursors using computational chemistry

TL;DR: In this paper, the molecular properties associated with reactive N-Nitrosodimethylamine precursors and the origin and identity of those amines which contribute to NDMA formation in drinking water were defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring NDMA precursors throughout membrane-based advanced wastewater treatment processes by organic matter fluorescence.

TL;DR: Results showed that protein-like materials are correlated with the bulk NDMA FP and specific NDMA precursors throughout the MBR-NF pilot plant, and shows that fluorescence EEM can be a promising tool to monitor the concentration of NDMA Precursors and their removal in water reuse application.

Occurrence, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity of regulated and emerging disinfection by-products in drinking water: a review and roadmap for research.

TL;DR: The brominated DBPs were the most genotoxic of all but have not been tested for carcinogenicity and highlighted the emerging importance of dermal/inhalation exposure to the THMs, or possibly other DBPs, and the role of genotype for risk for drinking-water-associated bladder cancer.

Reactions of chlorine with inorganic and organic compounds during water treatment—Kinetics and mechanisms: A critical review

TL;DR: Comparison of chlorine to ozone reactivity towards aromatic compounds (electrophilic attack) shows a good correlation, with chlorine rate constants being about four orders of magnitude smaller than those for ozone.

Occurrence of a New Generation of Disinfection Byproducts

TL;DR: A survey of disinfection byproduct (DBP) occurrence in the United States was conducted at 12 drinking water treatment plants to obtain quantitative occurrence information for new DBPs (beyond those currently regulated and/or studied) for prioritizing future health effects studies.
