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.

Can microbes significantly accelerate chloramine decay without severe nitrification

TL;DR: The ability of microbes to accelerate chloramine decay to the same degree as under severe nitrification, but without the signs of severe Nitrification is reported in this paper, without substantial changes in ammonia, nitrite or nitrate levels.

Organic geochemistry of natural waters

E. M. Thurman
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
