本研究得出结论，氧化铁覆膜砂是一种有效的天然有机物吸附剂。在两个水处理厂的中试研究中，它表现稳定，典型的溶解有机碳去除率为40-55%，紫外线吸附率为70-100%

This study concludes that iron-oxide-coated sand is an efficient adsorbent for natural organic matter. It has performed steadily in pilot plant studies at two water treatment plants, with typical removal of 40-55% dissolved organic carbon and 70-100% ultraviolet adsorbance
