EFFECTIVELY REMOVING HALO-ACETIC ACIDS FROM WATER BY BIOACTIVATED CARBON METHOD

Abstract

This study focused an effective method of bio-activated carbons to treat excess amounts of halo-acetic acids (HAAs) in raw water in a water treatment plant. Experiments were conducted in pilot scale treatment system to evaluate the removal of HAAs in water by bio-activated carbons. HAAs have been thought to be one possible nutrient supporting heterotrophic bacteria regrowth in drinking water. The results showed that pilot scale treatment system reduced over 85% of HAAs under normal conditions. The output water treated by pilot scale treatment system showed increased removal of HAAs and total organic carbon with increased alkalization of bio-activated carbons.
