Natural organic matter removal by coagulation during drinking water treatment: A review
TLDR
Most of the NOM can be removed by coagulation, although, the hydrophobic fraction and high molar mass compounds of NOM are removed more efficiently than hydrophilic fraction and the low molarmass compounds.About:

Practical Approach for Removal of Natural Organic Matter and defluoridation of Maji ya Chai river Water: Use of Acid Pre-treated Bone Char and Coagulants
TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) and fluoride from Maji ya Chai River water (MCRW) using bone char (BC) and coagulants was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Chitosan for Enhancing the Process of Surface Water Purification in Egypt
TL;DR: In this paper , the results of experiments using an experimental model carried out to investigate improving the removal efficacy of NOM using a natural coagulant, such as chitosan, along with alum, are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applicability of pebble matrix filtration for the pre-treatment of surface waters containing high turbidity and NOM
TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory scale pebble matrix filter (PMF) column was used to evaluate the turbidity and NOM pre-treatment performance in relation to 2013 Brisbane River flood water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated in-line coagulation-aerated ultrafiltration for drinking-water production: A case study from laboratory to pilot plant.
TL;DR: The findings suggested that the influence of the flocculation parameters was masked by aeration inside the membrane tank but, even so, 43% and 82% DOC and UVA254 removals, respectively, were reached, confirming the suitability of the pre-treatment for low-quality influents.

Coagulation by hydrolysing metal salts
Jinming Duan,John Gregory +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed understanding of the sweep flocculation mechanism is provided, especially with regard to the role of charge neutralization and hydroxide precipitation. But the results can be reasonably well explained in terms of established ideas, and there are also some uncertainties regarding the action of pre-hydrolysed coagulants.

Organic polyelectrolytes in water treatment.
Brian Bolto,John Gregory +1 more
TL;DR: There is a focus on polymers for primary coagulation, their use as coagulant aids, in the recycling of filter backwash waters, and in sludge thickening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamentals, present and future perspectives of electrocoagulation.
TL;DR: This paper presents an in-depth discussion and consideration of the factors that need to be addressed for optimum performance of this technology.
