Formation and reactivity of inorganic and organic chloramines and bromamines during oxidative water treatment

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Urs von Gunten, Michèle Bernadette Heeb, Daniela Trogolo

The formation and further reactions of halamines during oxidative water treatment can be relevant for water quality. In this study, we investigated the formation and reactivity of several inorganic and organic halamines (monochloramine, N-chloromethylamine ...

The Role of Bromide in Oxidative Water Treatment

Michèle Bernadette Heeb

Bromide (Br-) levels in fresh waters range from a few ¿gL-1 to several mgL-1. In seawater its concentration is about 67 mgL-1. The goal of this thesis is to assess the fate of bromide during oxidative water treatment and to explore its influence on these t ...

Molecular mechanism of NDMA formation from N,N-dimethylsulfamide during ozonation: Quantum chemical insights into a bromide-catalyzed pathway

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Brijesh Kumar Mishra, Urs von Gunten, Michèle Bernadette Heeb, Daniela Trogolo

During ozonation of drinking water, the fungicide metabolite NN-dimethyIsulfamide (DMS) can be transformed into a highly toxic product, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). We used quantum chemical computations and stopped-flow experiments to evaluate a chemical ...

Strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium carbonate as templates for the precipitation of calcium-phosphates in the absence and presence of fluoride

Janet Gordon Hering, Michèle Bernadette Heeb

The heterogeneous precipitation of calcium phosphates on calcium hydroxyapariLe (Ca-10(PO4)(4)OH)(2) or HAP) in the presence arid absence of fluoride is important in the formation of bone and teeth, protection against tooth decay, dental and skeletal fluor ...

Oxidative treatment of bromide-containing waters: Formation of bromine and its reactions with inorganic and organic compounds - A critical review

Urs von Gunten, Saskia Gisela Zimmermann-Steffens, Michèle Bernadette Heeb

Bromide (Br-) is present in all water sources at concentrations ranging from similar to 10 to >1000 mu g L-1 in fresh waters and about 67 mg L-1 in seawater. During oxidative water treatment bromide is oxidized to hypobromous acid/hypobromite (HOBr/OBr-) a ...
