This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of taste and odor in drinking water and the dual purpose of ultraviolet- (UV)- based advanced oxidation process (AOP). Kinetic experiment conditions are presented, along with a reactor scale-up study, modeling input parameters, direct UV photolysis, UV-H2O2 AOP, and UV-H2O2 alternatives in drinking water treatment plants (WTPs). Presentation conclusions indicate that: geosmin, 2-MIB, pyrazines and anisoles were successfully
reduced to below OTC levels using UV-H2O2 and UV-HOCl;
in UV-H2O2 scale-up study, natural organic matter (NOM) and H2O2 dose were
major key factors, rather than pH and carbonate alkalinity;
T&O decay rates increased with the following order of
treatments: UV (1) < UV-NO3- (4) < UV-H2O2 (9) < UVHOCl
(40); and,
the result leads to the possibility of using HOCl together
with UV in an AOP system; however, a potential problem
is disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation due to high chlorine doses. Includes tables, figures.
