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:

The efficiency of macroporous polystyrene ion-exchange resins in natural organic matter removal from surface water
TL;DR: In this paper, applicability of two macroporous, polystyrene ion exchange resins (BD400FD and A100) in NOM removal from water was assessed including comparison of treatment efficiency in various process set-ups and conditions.

Book
Organic geochemistry of natural waters
TL;DR: The first part of the book as mentioned in this paper is a general overview of the amount and general nature of dissolved organic carbon in natural waters, and the second part is a summary of the data that has accumulated from many disciplines over the last decade.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
