| Abstract | Ozonation of secondary wastewater effluents can reduce the discharge of micropollutants by transforming their chemical structures. Therefore, a better understanding of the formation of transformation products during ozonation is important. In this study, a computer-based prediction platform for the kinetics and mechanisms of the reactions of ozone with organic compounds was developed to enable in silico predictions of transformation products. With the developed prediction platform, reaction kinetics expressed as second-order rate constants for the reactions of ozone with selected organic compounds (kO3, M−1 s−1) can be predicted based on an adapted kO3 prediction model from a previous study (Lee et al., Environ. Sci. Technol., 2015, 49, 9925–9935) (average model error of about a factor of 6 for 14 compound classes with 284 model compounds). Ozone reaction mechanisms reported in the literature have been reviewed and, using chemoinformatics tools, encoded into about 340 individual reaction rules that can be generally applied to predict the transformation products of micropollutants. Predictions for kO3 and/or transformation products were overall consistent with the experimental data for three micropollutants used as validation compounds (e.g., carbamazepine, tramadol, and triclosan). However, limitations of the current kO3 prediction platform were also identified: ambiguous assignment of the n-th highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO−n) to the reactive sites, potential errors associated with the use of a gas-phase geometry, and a poor kO3 prediction for certain compounds (cetirizine). Therefore, the current prediction tool should not be considered as a substitute for experimental studies and experimental data are still required in the future to obtain a more robust prediction model. Nonetheless, the developed prediction platform, made available as a stand-alone graphical user interface (GUI) application, will provide useful information about aqueous ozone chemistry to various groups of end-users such as environmental chemists, engineers, or toxicologists. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
