| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research elucidated the precursors of N-DBPs in various drinking water sources of Japan and Thailand, and the effectiveness of different advanced water treatment processes to remove the DBP precursors. Polystyrene anion exchange resin had the greatest ability to remove bromide and subsequently decreased formation potentials of brominated THMs in comparison to polyacrylic resins. Ferrate (Fe(VI)) oxidation could oxidize aromatic DOM into smaller MW DOM that could be removed by subsequent coagulation using polyaluminium chloride. When the large MW (> 3000 Da) aromatic DOM is dominant in the water, ferrihydrite may be a suitable adsorbent to mitigate the DBP formation. When the source water contained high bromide concentration, adding anion exchange adsorption using polystyrene resin could offer simultaneous removal of both bromide and DOM.
