Humic substances mainly humic acids constitute the major fraction of natural organic matter in water supplies. Humics express diverse actions primarily related to the formation of potentially harmful disinfection by products (DBPs). Therefore, the removal of DBP precursors through numerous treatment

The photocatalytic removal of model humic and fulvic acids of different origins (terrestrial and aquatic) was investigated using TiO2 Degussa P-25 as the photocatalyst. The results were presented comparatively based on pseudofirst-order and the Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic models. The reaction rates

Humic acids have been widely studied in the literature as a representative to natural organic matter (NOM) in drinking water supplies due to their composite heterogeneous nature comprising a variety of different molecular weight compounds. However, humic acids are difficult to isolate from water pri
