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:

Combination of powdered activated carbon and powdered zeolite for enhancing ammonium removal in micro-polluted raw water
TL;DR: This paper provides a performance assessment of the combination for enhancing ammonium removal in micro-polluted raw water and suggests to dose both two adsorbents into the early phase of flocculation to maximize the versatile removal efficiency on turbidity, ammonium and organic contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fluorescence-based assessment of the fate of organic matter in water treated using crude/purified Hibiscus seeds as coagulant in drinking water treatment.
TL;DR: It is clear that Peak T fluorescence intensity could be used to characterise organic matter in treated water using natural extracts to assess final water quality.

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.
