Dimethyl Sulfide Dimethyl sulfide Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) or methylthiomethane is an organosulfur Dimethyl sulfide compound with the formula (CH3)2S. Dimethyl sulfide is a flammable liquid that boils at 37 °C (99 °F) and has a characteristic disagreeable odor. It is a component of the smell produced from cooking of certain vegetables, notably maize, cabbage, beetroot, and seafoods. It is also an indication of bacterial contamination in malt production and brewing. It is a breakdown product of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and is also produced by the bacterial metabolism of methanethiol.

Shanghai, China Determination of Low Levels of Dimethyl Disulfide (DMDS) and Introduction Continued urbanization and Dimethyl Trisulfide (DMTS) in industrialization throughout the world have brought the problem Water Using HS Trap-GC/FPD of malodor pollution into the forefront of many discussions on environmental sustainability and protection. Volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) have been identified as a primary contributor to malodor pollution in water, and are considered a serious safety and environmental threat, owing to the potential toxicity of compounds such as methyl mercaptan, ethanethiol, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), methyl phenyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). DMDS and DMTS are commonly found in urban sewage, and are formed by the conversion of sulfate through microbial reduction during the sewage transportation processes.1 Recognized as one of the main malodor contributors in urban sewage, DMDS and DMTS produce a “swampy” smell in sewage, akin to odors related to decaying cabbage or garlic. Water sources contaminated with trace amounts of DMDS and DMTS also result in an unpleasant odor and taste, causing concern and complaints amongst consumers. Thus, the determination and abatement of these VOSCs in water is drawing increasing attention amongst utility providers, water treatment plants and regulators alike. Table 1. Analytical parameters.

  • Geosmin and 2-MIB Removal by Full-Scale Drinking Water Treatment Processes in the Republic of Korea
    water Article Geosmin and 2-MIB Removal by Full-Scale Drinking Water Treatment Processes in the Republic of Korea Keug Tae Kim 1 and Yong-Gyun Park 2,* 1 Department of Environmental & Energy Engineering, Suwon University, 17 Wauan-gil, Bongdam-eup, Hwaseong-si 18323, Korea; [email protected] 2 Pioneer Team Research Institute, GS Engineering &Construction, 33, Jong-ro, Jongro-gu, Seoul 03159, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Due to climate change, population growth, industrialization, urbanization, and water contamination, it is becoming more difficult to secure and supply clean and safe drinking water. One of the challenges many water utilities often face is the taste and odor (T&O) problem in drinking water treatment plants, mostly associated with geosmin and 2-MIB. These representative T&O compounds are mainly produced by the metabolism of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), especially in summer. In this study, the correlation between algae blooms and T&O compounds was identified in the intake and raw water of a large-scale water treatment plant in the Republic of Korea. The removal efficiency of geosmin and 2-MIB by each treatment process was intensively evaluated. According to the obtained results, ozonation and granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption were more effective for removing the troublesome compounds compared to other water treatment processes, such as coagulation/flocculation, filtration, and chlorination. Because of their seasonal concentration variation and different removal rates, optimal operation methods need to be developed and implemented for drinking water treatment plants to solve the T&O problems.

Moreover, low sulfur specifications are also needed to lengthen the lifetime of car exhaust catalysts.
