Even though ozone has been applied for a long time for disinfection
and oxidation in water treatment, there is lack of critical
information related to transformation of organic compounds. This
has become more important in recent years, because there is
considerable concern about the formation of potentially harmful
degradation products as well as oxidation products from the
reaction with the matrix components. In recent years, a wealth of
information on the products that are formed has accumulated, and
substantial progress in understanding mechanistic details of ozone
reactions in aqueous solution has been made. Based on the latter,
this may allow us to predict the products of as yet not studied
systems and assist in evaluating toxic potentials in case certain
classes are known to show such effects. Keeping this in mind,
Chemistry of Ozone in Water and Wastewater Treatment: From Basic
Principles to Applications discusses mechanistic details of ozone
reactions as much as they are known to date and applies them to the
large body of studies on micropollutant degradation (such as
pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors) that is already
available. Extensively quoting the literature and updating the
available compilation of ozone rate constants gives the reader a
text at hand on which his research can be based. Moreover, those
that are responsible for planning or operation of ozonation steps
in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants will find salient
information in a compact form that otherwise is quite disperse. A
critical compilation of rate constants for the various classes of
compounds is given in each chapter, including all the recent
publications. This is a very useful source of information for
researchers and practitioners who need kinetic information on
emerging contaminants. Furthermore, each chapter contains a large
selection of examples of reaction mechanisms for the transformation
of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fuel
additives, solvents, taste and odor compounds, cyanotoxins.
