Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as one of the most promising
analytical tools in recent years. Due to advantageous features such as sensitivity, specificity …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) significantly affects the quality of reclaimed water and
drinking water. Reclaimed water potable reuse is an effective way to augment drinking water …

Specific UV absorbance (SUVA) is defined as the UV absorbance of a water sample at a
given wavelength normalized for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration. Our data …

Humic substances (HS) are heterogeneous, redox-active organic macromolecules. While
electron transfer to and from HS under reducing conditions is well investigated …

In water treatment dissolved organic matter (DOM) is typically the major sink for chemical
oxidants. The resulting changes in DOM, such as its optical properties have been measured …

Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays an important role in the inactivation of pathogens and the
degradation of organic contaminants. The present study looks at the surface steady-state …

We compare the performance of three most accepted reagents for organic matter removal:
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and disodium peroxodisulfate …

Humic substances play a key role in biogeochemical and pollutant redox reactions. The
objective of this work was to characterize the proton and electron transfer equilibria of the …

Haloacetamides (HAcAms) are an emerging class of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-
DBPs). However, there is a limited understanding about the precursors of HAcAms. In this …

The formation of THMs and HAAs after chlorination of bulk water fractions of low-SUVA
(specific UV absorbance) surface waters was investigated, and the applicability of SUVA …
