Occurrence of regulated and emerging iodinated DBPs in the Shanghai drinking water.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Drinking water chlorination plays a pivotal role in preventing pathogen contamination against water-borne disease. However, chemical disinfection leads to the formation of halogenated disinfection by products (DBPs). Many DBPs are highly toxic and are of

Effects of graphitic carbon nitride in the formation of disinfection byproducts

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2023
Graphitic carbon nitride (CN) was a promising candidate for efficient environmental remediation in the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, whether CN itself had some potential environmental risks, such as affecting the production of ...

Control of disinfection and halogenated disinfection byproducts by the electrochemical process

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2007
The aim of this study was to investigate some aspects of the performance of electrochemical process as an alternative disinfection strategy, while minimising DBPs, for water purification. The study of electrochemical processes has shown free chlorine to be produced, but smaller amounts of stronger oxidants, such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide and OH ...

Formation of disinfection byproducts in wash water and lettuce by washing with sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid sanitizers

open access: yesFood Chemistry: X, 2019
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and peracetic acid (PAA) are being used for sanitization in food processing, but their chemical behaviors regarding disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formation during washing processes are still largely unknown.

The temperature-dependent kinetics and bacteria regrowth by performic acid and sodium hypochlorite disinfection

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2023
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has been widely used as a disinfectant in water and wastewater treatment, because of its high efficiency and low cost, whereas the bio-toxicity of its disinfection byproducts (DBPs) raised great concern.
