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.

The physicochemical distribution of 131I in a municipal wastewater treatment plant.

TL;DR: In this study, samples from various locations inside a municipal WWTP were taken and for each sample, three different fractions were separated by a chemical extraction process and analysed for their 131I activity concentrations by gamma-ray spectroscopy.

Water quality changes and organic matter removal using natural bank infiltration at a boreal lake in Finland

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the behavior of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems by using a natural lake-aquifer system as a surrogate and found that MAR can be an effective solution to the problem of removing natural organic matter in the long term.

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.
