Trihalomethanes

1 - 7 of 7 results

The aim of this study was to assess the formation and the behavior of halogenated byproducts (regulated THMs and HAAs, as well as nitrogenous, brominated and iodinated DBPs including the emerging iodo-THMs) along the treatment train of full-scale desalination plants. One thermal multi-stage flash dis

The investigation involved the study of performance of two local plants’ slightly different treatment processes for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) which comprises trihalomethane (THM) precursors. Ultrafiltration separated the contained NOM into various apparent molecular weight (AMW) fr

Seasonal variations of trihalomethane (THM) concentrations were investigated within distribution systems of the Buyukcekmece water treatment plant in Istanbul City (Turkey). The investigation was based on an intensive 30-week sampling program, undertaken during the spring, summer and fall of the yea

Disinfection is a key treatment process for producing drinking water. However, it produces undesirable byproducts that may cause adverse health effects. Disinfection by-products (DBP) such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are considered potentially carcinogenic and have been rec

The chlorination of water containing natural organic matter (NOM) and bromide leads to the formation of total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), for which the Italian new regulation on drinking water (Legislative Decree 31/01) indicates a restrictive maximum concentration level of 30 µg/l. The extent of total

An investigation into the occurrence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) was conducted for a period of two years (2001–2002) on the drinking water of Athens, Greece. Samples from four water treatment plants (WTPs) and from the distribution system of Athens were collected monthly and analyzed for DBPs

The paper presents the investigations concerning membrane treatment of water containing chloroform. Reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) techniques were applied. Removal degrees of chloroform and flux drop during membrane filtration were determined. Basing on the result
