Collaborative Research: Transformation of Phenols to Aliphatic Disinfection Byproducts: Id — NSF Award to Stevens Institute of Tec
Chlorine is used to kill harmful germs in drinking water. However, chlorine can also react with other substances in the water, like dissolved organic matter (DOM), creating unwanted byproducts called disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Phenolic compounds are key parts of DOM that often lead to the formation of DBPs. Becaus

| Abstract | Chlorine is used to kill harmful germs in drinking water. However, chlorine can also react with other substances in the water, like dissolved organic matter (DOM), creating unwanted byproducts called disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Phenolic compounds are key parts of DOM that often lead to the formation of DBPs. Because DOM is a highly complex mixture of different compounds, researchers study individual components of DOM like phenol and lignin to understand how DBPs form. This research has been |
