ACS Editor's Choice to Prof. Urs von Gunten and LTQE's article
Prof. Urs von Gunten and his LTQE team were selected as ACS Editor's Choice for their article "Understanding the Ozonotion of Phenols" in Environmental Science & Technology journal
Abstract: During ozonation of waters containing phenol and para-substituted phenols, a widespread formation of potentially toxic benzoquinones, catechols, and cyclohexadienones are observed. Similar products are expected during ozonation of phenol-containing micropollutants and dissolved organic matter. As of yet, it is unclear to what extent these products are attenuated during biological post-treatment. See von Gunten et al.
