Temporal and spatial analysis of ozone concentrations in Europe based on timescale decomposition and a multi-clustering approach

Satoshi Takahama, Eirini Boleti, Christoph Hueglin

Air quality measures that were implemented in Europe in the 1990s resulted in reductions of ozone precursor concentrations. In this study, the effect of these reductions on ozone is investigated by analyzing surface measurements of this pollutant for the t ...

Geographically Parameterized Residential Sector Energy and Service Profile

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Hür Ebuzer Bütün, Raluca-Ancuta Suciu

The large share of energy consumption in the residential sector has necessitated better understanding and evaluation of the energy needs in this sector, with the objective of identifying possible pathways for improvement. A series of approaches have been u ...

Combined Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Molecular Dynamics Study of Methane Adsorption in M-2(dobdc) Metal-Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Efrem Daniel Braun, Rocio Mercado, Amber Kashan Mace

We examine the diffusion of methane in the metal organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Ni, Zn; dobdc(4-) = 2,5-diwddo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) as a function of methane loading through a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular dynamics sim ...

Microscale physico-chemical interactions between hydrodynamically confined liquids and immersed biological surfaces

David Philipp Taylor

In contrast to conventional microfluidics, where liquids are typically manipulated within closed channels, open-space microfluidics has emerged as a new class of techniques that are well suited for ver-satile interaction with biological substrates. In part ...

Evaluation of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant upgraded with ozonation and biological post-treatments: Abatement of micropollutants, formation of transformation products and oxidation by-products

Urs von Gunten, Hansruedi Siegrist

To protect the ecosystem and drinking water resources in Switzerland and in the countries of the downstream catchments, a new Swiss water protection act entered into force in 2016 aiming to reduce the discharge of micropollutants from wastewater treatment ...

Abatement of Polychoro-1,3-butadienes in Aqueous Solution by Ozone, UV Photolysis, and Advanced Oxidation Processes (O-3/H2O2 and UV/H2O2)

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee, Silvio Canonica

The abatement of 9 polychloro-1,3-butadienes (CBDs) in aqueous solution by ozone, UV-C(254 nm) photolysis, and the corresponding advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (i.e., O-3/H2O2 and UV/H2O2) was investigated. The following parameters were determined for ...

Comparison of methylisoborneol and geosmin abatement in surface water by conventional ozonation and an electro-peroxone process

Urs von Gunten, Gang Yu, Yan Wang, Chao Chen

In this study methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin abatement in a surface water by conventional ozonation and the electro-peroxone (E-peroxone) process was compared. Batch tests with addition of ozone (03) stock solutions and semi-batch tests with continuous ...

Influence of Fluorinated Surfactant Composition on the Stability of Emulsion Drops

Esther Amstad, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Michael David Kessler

Aqueous drops of a well-defined size are often used as small containers for conducting chemical and biochemical reactions, cell assays and as templates to produce microparticles. To prevent their coalescence, they must be stabilized, for example, using sur ...

Combination of UV absorbance and electron donating capacity to assess degradation of micropollutants and formation of bromate during ozonation of wastewater effluents

Urs von Gunten

In this study, the changes in UV absorbance at 254 nm (UVA(254)) and electron donating capacity (EDC) were investigated as surrogate indicators for assessing removal of micropollutants and bromate formation during ozonation of wastewater effluents. To meas ...

Electrochemical Detection of Free Chlorine at Inkjet Printed Silver Electrodes

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Véronique Amstutz, Hongyan Bi, Milica Jovic

A low-cost, reliable and sensitive electrochemical method for free chlorine analysis in water using inkjet printed silver electrodes is presented. Free chlorine detection was based on linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis of AgCl/Ag2O films formed over a ...

A review of the fire behaviour of pultruded GFRP structural profiles for civil engineering applications

Thomas Keller, Yu Bai

Pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are finding increasing applications in civil engineering structures, owing to the several advantages they offer over traditional materials. However, due to the combustible nature of their polymer mat ...

Reactivity of BrCl, Br2, BrOCl, Br2O and HOBr toward dimethenamid in solutions of bromide + aqueous free chlorine

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher

HOBr, formed via oxidation of bromide by free available chlorine (FAC), is frequently assumed to be the sole species responsible for generating brominated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Our studies reveal that BrCl, Br-2, BrOCl, and Br2O can also serve as ...

CO2 and R410A: Two-phase flow visualizations and flow boiling measurements at medium (0.50) reduced pressure

John Richard Thome

The conversion to more environmentally friendly refrigerants is of prime importance for refrigeration and air-conditioning industries. A first option for the substitution of the fluids which use was banned could be natural refrigerants, such as CO2, or HFC ...
