Bildung und Schicksal von Transformationsprodukten bei der
Wasserbehandlung mit Ozon und biologischer Nachbehandlung -
TRANSFO3RM

Die Ozonung wird in der Trinkwasseraufbereitung und Abwasserbehandlung für die Entfernung von Mikroverunreinigungen eingesetzt. Dabei bilden sich jedoch Transformationsprodukte (OTPs), deren chemische Struktur und Stabilität weitgehend unbekannt sind. In diesem Projekt werden OTPs aus einer Mischung von vielen expositionsrelevanten Mikroverunreinigungen in unterschiedlichen simulieren Wassermatrices mit Laborexperimenten eruiert. Die Relevanz der so identifizierten OTPs wird auf Ozonungsanlagen mit realem Wasser im Pilotmassstab und volltechnisch untersucht. Im weiteren wird die Abbaubarkeit der OTPs in der biologischen Nachbehandlung von ozontem Trink- und Abwasser geprüft, um ein mechanistisches Verständnis derer biologischen Abbaubarkeit zu gewinnen und um persistente und wasserrelevante OTPs zu identifizieren. Die Zusammenarbeit mit der Wasserversorgung Zürich erbringt die Vernetzung mit der Trinkwassergesellschaft in der Schweiz und ausserhalb.

' (112 chars) description => protected'Ozonation is increasingly applied in water and wastewater treatment for the
         abatement of micropollutants (MPs). However, the transformation products for
         med during ozonation (OTPs) and their fate in biological or sorptive post-tr
         eatments is largely unknown. In this project, a high-throughput approach, co
         mbining laboratory ozonation experiments and detection by liquid chromatogra
         phy high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HR-MS/MS), was developed and appli
         ed to identify OTPs formed during ozonation of wastewater effluent for a lar
         ge number of relevant MPs (total 87). For the laboratory ozonation experimen
         ts, a simplified experimental solution, consisting of surrogate organic matt
         er (methanol and acetate), was created, which produced ozonation conditions
         similar to realistic conditions in terms of ozone and hydroxyl radical expos
         ures. The 87 selected parent MPs were divided into 19 mixtures, which enable
         d the identification of OTPs with an optimized number of experiments. The fo
         llowing two approaches were considered to identify OTPs. (1) A screening of
         LC-HR-MS signal formation in these experiments was performed and revealed a
         list of 1749 potential OTP candidate signals associated to 70 parent MPs. Th
         is list can be used in future suspect screening studies. (2) A screening was
          performed for signals that were formed in both batch experiments and in sam
         ples of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This second approach was ultima
         tely more time-efficient and was applied to four different WWTPs with ozonat
         ion (specific ozone doses in the range 0.23-0.55 gO<sub>3</sub>/gDOC), leadi
         ng to the identification of 84 relevant OTPs of 40 parent MPs in wastewater
         effluent. Chemical structures could be proposed for 83 OTPs through the inte
         rpretation of MS/MS spectra and expert knowledge in ozone chemistry. Forty-e
         ight OTPs (58%) have not been reported previously. The fate of the verified
         OTPs was studied in different post-treatment steps. During sand filtration,
         87-89% of the OTPs were ...

         e water in the influent of a drinking water pilot plant consisting of an ozo
         nation followed by a biological sand filtration. During ozonation, 227 trans
         formation products (OTPs) from 39 of the spiked 51 MPs were detected after
         solid phase extraction by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectro
         metry (LC-HRMS/MS). Based on the MS/MS data, tentative molecular structures
         are proposed. Reaction mechanisms for the formation of a large number of OTP
         s are suggested by combination of the kinetics of formation and abatement an
         d state-of-the-art knowledge on ozone and hydroxyl radical chemistry. OTPs f
         orming as primary or higher generation products from the oxidation of MPs co
         uld be differentiated. However, some expected products from the reactions of
          ozone with activated aromatic compounds and olefins were not detected with
         the applied analytical procedure. 187 OTPs were present in the sand filtrati
         on in sufficiently high concentrations to elucidate their fate in this treat
         ment step. 35 of these OTPs (19%) were abated in the sand filtration step, m
         ost likely due to biodegradation. Only 24 (13%) of the OTPs were abated more
          efficiently than the parent compounds, with a dependency on the functional
         group of the parent MPs and OTPs. Overall, this study provides evidence, tha
         t the common assumption that OTPs are easily abated in biological post-treat
         ment is not generally valid. Nevertheless, it is unknown how the OTPs, which
          escaped detection, would have behaved in the biological post-treatment.
