Substances reacting fast with ozone, such as diclofenac or carbamazepine (k(P,O3) > 10(4) M-1 s(-1)), were eliminated within the gas bubble column, except for the lowest ozone dose of 0.21 g O-3 g(-1) DOG. For this low dose, this could be attributed to short-circuiting within the reactor. Substances with lower ozone reactivity (k(p,O3) < 10(4) M-1 s(-1)) were only fully eliminated for higher ozone doses.Micropollutant oxidationRctModelingFull-scale ozonationOxidation by-productsDisinfectionEndocrine-Disrupting ChemicalsOrganic-Carbon AocDrinking-WaterPharmaceutical OxidationEstrogenic ActivityReactive TracersAquatic ColloidsOzoneRemovalPredictiontext::journal::journal article::research article
