This deliverable aims at presenting the reactivity of selected compounds towards the oxidative treatments investigated in Work Area 3, i.e. ozonation and UV photolysis. Therefore, mechanisms of oxidation by molecular ozone and hydroxyl radicals on reactive moieties are first described for a better understanding of oxidants reactivity. Since the reactivity of compounds is finally quantified with kinetic laws and kinetic rate constants, protocols for the determination of reaction rate constants (k-values) are here described and discussed. Based on literature data or recent lab studies, k-values of selected compounds are also compiled in this manuscript. These values are particularly useful since they can be implemented for prediction of their elimination during oxidative water treatment based on models presented here.
