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.

Mitigation of Humic Acid Inhibition in Anaerobic Digestion of Cellulose by Addition of Various Salts

TL;DR: The impact of salt addition to mitigate the inhibitory effects of humic compounds was investigated and validated by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy analyses, which showed the binding capacity of different cations to humic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption and desorption of dissolved organic matter by carbon nanotubes: Effects of solution chemistry.

TL;DR: Understanding of DOM-SWCNT interactions in aqueous systems influenced by rapid changes in salinity, and potential use of SWCNTs in water-purification technologies is enhanced, and the initial adsorption rate is dependent on solution parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of dosing sequence and solution pH on floc properties of the compound bioflocculant-aluminum sulfate dual-coagulant in kaolin-humic acid solution treatment.

TL;DR: The compound bioflocculant (CBF)-aluminum sulfate (AS) dual-coagulant and AS were comparatively studied for the coagulation of kaolin-humic acid solution and indicated that, the flocs formed by AS-CBF showed the largest size and the best recoverability across the pH range investigated.

The effect of TiO2 nanoparticles removal on drinking water quality produced by conventional treatment C/F/S

TL;DR: Investigation of the efficiency of conventional coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation (C/F/S) from drinking water treatment to remove TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) from surface waters shows thatTiO2 NPs removal is high, and the treated water quality is not compromised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upgrading coagulation with hollow-fibre nanofiltration for improved organic matter removal during surface water treatment.

TL;DR: Given the recommended limit of 4 mg L(-1) for chemical oxygen demand for Swedish drinking water, coagulation will need to be supplemented with one or more treatment steps irrespective whether climate change will lead to drier or wetter conditions in order to maintain sufficient DOC removal with the current increasing concentrations in raw waters.

Occurrence of a New Generation of Disinfection Byproducts

TL;DR: A survey of disinfection byproduct (DBP) occurrence in the United States was conducted at 12 drinking water treatment plants to obtain quantitative occurrence information for new DBPs (beyond those currently regulated and/or studied) for prioritizing future health effects studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coagulation by hydrolysing metal salts

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.

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.
