In this study the influence of water matrix and oxidation treatment by ozone on natural organic matter (NOM) fractionation and corresponding disinfection by-products formation was investigated. Three water types were selected, based on their different NOM contents (5.16–9.85 mg/L dissolved organic carbon (DOC)) and structures (42–79% proportion of hydrophobic NOM fraction). It was determined that increasing the ozone dose (0.2–0.8 mg O3/mg DOC) generally led to reductions in DOC (2–26%) and trihalomethane formation potential values (4–58%). Results of NOM fractionation showed that the reactivity of all the individual NOM fractions towards trihalomethane formation decreased after ozone oxidation (0.8 mg O3/mg DOC) by 47–69%, relative to the raw waters.

Abstract The present study explored the influence of Cl−, Br−, CO32−, HCO3−, PO43−, HPO42−, NO3−, SO32− and natural organic matter (NOM) on the reaction kinetics and the formation of undesired degradation byproducts during phenol oxidation by heat-activated persulfate (PS). CO32− and PO43− promoted the phenol degradation, because the hydrolysis of CO32− and PO43− created basic pH conditions which were conducive to enhanced PS oxidation rate. Br− promoted the reaction by reacting with sulfate radicals (SO4•−) to produce bromine radicals that can selectively react with electron-rich phenol. NOM scavenged reactive SO4•−, thus inhibiting the reaction. As a strong reducing agent, SO32− rapidly reduced PS, thus completely suppressing the reaction. HCO3−, HPO42−, Cl−, and NO3− had negligible impact on PS oxidation of phenol. Six intermediates were detected in the no anion control using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Various toxic halogenated phenols and halogenated hydroquinones were detected in the treatment containing Cl− and Br−. In contrast, in the treatment containing CO32−, HCO3−, PO43−, HPO42−, and NO3−, no new intermediates were identified except for the intermediates already detected in the control treatment. Based on intermediates identified, reaction pathways for PS oxidation of phenol without anions and in the presence of halides were proposed respectively.

Increasing concentrations of organic micropollutants, like pharmaceuticals, in surface water may require additional treatment for drinking water production. The UV/H2O2 process is very effective for this purpose, but is known for its relatively high energy demand. This energy demand may be decreased by improving the water matrix composition and/or by optimizing UV reactor geometry. Thus, operational costs of the process may be decreased. This can be visualized by calculating the Electrical Energy per Order (EEO). By optimizing the water matrix, e.g. by pretreating the water by filtration over activated carbon or with O3/H2O2, the energy demand decreased up to 70%. This is affected by the concentration and type of the natural organic matter present. By optimizing reactor geometry an additional decrease in energy demand, up to 40%, could be obtained. How efficient the process may become strongly depends on the characteristics of the micropollutants involved.
