The presence of natural organic matter (NOM) is the main cause for disinfection byproducts (DBP) formation, upon final chlorination. In this context, drinking water managers must maximize NOM removal and optimize chlorine dosage. In this study, water samples from surface reservoir and lab-scale treatment were combined with various unit operation and Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) combinations.

Abstract

The presence of natural organic matter (NOM) is the main cause for disinfection byproducts (DBP) formation, upon final chlorination. In this context, drinking water managers must maximize NOM removal and optimize chlorine dosage. In this study, water samples from surface reservoir and lab-scale treatment were combined with various unit operation and Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) combinations. The impact of the experiments on the structure of the Natural Organic Matter (NOM) was evaluated as well as the formation of biodegradable compounds and the disinfection by-products (DBP) formation.
