极性天然有机物（NOM）通常主要存在于常规处理和成品饮用水中。极性NOM已显示出形成消毒副产物（DBPs）的潜力。公用事业公司可以利用先进的工艺来优化其处理，以去除极性和非极性NOM，从而控制饮用水中DBP的形成。系统地，对常规处理的全尺寸样品进行实验室规模的活性炭吸附、超滤膜和臭氧/生物处理过程，以评估NOM的潜在去除。在实验室规模的未处理和处理样品上进行溶解有机碳（DOC）表征和DBP表征分析，以更好地了解可以控制极性NOM去除和相应DBP降低的因素和过程。 包括17个参考文献、表格、图表。

Polar natural organic matter (NOM) is usually predominantin conventionally-treated and finished drinking waters. The polar NOM has shown potential to form disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Utilities may be able to utilize advanced processesto optimize their treatment for the removal of polar and nonpolar NOM and thus control DBP formation in drinking water. Systematically, full-scale conventionally-treated samples were subjected to bench-scale activated carbon adsorption, ultrafiltration membrane, and ozonation/biotreatment processes to assess the potential removal of NOM. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) characterization and DBP characterization analyses were performed on bench-scale untreated and treated samples to better understand the factors and processes that can control polar NOM removal and corresponding DBP reductions.
