Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT

18

Molecular changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) from treatment processes at two drinking

19

water treatment plants in Japan were investigated using unknown screening analysis by Orbitrap

20

mass spectrometry. DOM formulae with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (CHO-DOM) were the

21

most abundant class in water samples, and over half of them were commonly found at both

22

plants. Among the treatment processes, ozonation induced the most drastic changes to DOM.

23

Mass peak intensities of less saturated CHO-DOM (positive (oxygen subtracted double bond

24

equivalent per carbon (DBE–O)/C)) decreased by ozonation, while more saturated oxidation

25

byproducts (negative (DBE–O)/C) increased and new oxidation byproducts (OBPs) were

26

detected. By Kendrick mass analysis, ozone reactions preferred less saturated CHO-DOM in the

27

same alkylation families and produced more saturated alkylation families of OBPs. Following

28

ozonation, biological activated carbon filtration effectively removed
