Wane-and-wax mechanism of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts with constant Cl/N peak under UV/chlorine treatment: Implication for new drinking water disinfection strategy
Nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) are notorious for their serious health risks, yet nitrate (NO3-) mediates N-DBPs generation during UV/chlorine treatment remains unexplored. This study investigated the interaction of chlorine and NO3- on N-DBPs formation and developed a specific fragment-based screening method using UPLC-QTOF-MS to explore the underlying mechanism. Results showed that the chlorine-to-nitrogen (Cl/NO3--N) molar ratio significantly affects dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) and dichloroacetamide (DCAM) generation, with peak concentrations at a Cl/NO3--N molar ratio of around 15. NO3- promotes the production of HO•, which positively correlates with DCAN and DCAM concentrations, also peaking at this ratio. Utilizing our developed method, three key hydroxyl-substituted intermediates that circumvent the previously reported “limiting-steps” in DCAN formation were identified. This reaction proceeds via a stepwise mechanism involving hydroxylation and chlorine substitution to produce hydroxyl-phenylacetonitrile and hydroxyl-chlorine-phenylacetonitrile. The conversion rate of hydroxyl-chlorine-phenylacetonitrile to DCAN was 8.6 times higher at Cl/NO3--N molar ratio of 15 compared to conditions without NO3-, attributed to the weakened bond strength of the side chain, as supported by density functional theory calculations. This study provides novel insights into the mechanistic pathways of DCAN and DCAM formation, critical for developing more effective drinking water disinfection technologies to control N-DBPs.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
