Modeling Off-Flavor Compounds Geosmin and 2 MIB in Quebec City and Levis (Canada) Water Sources Using Water Quality Parameters
使用水质参数模拟魁北克市和利维斯(加拿大)水源中的异味化合物Geosmin和2 MIB
The overall objective of this study was to evaluate whether water quality parameters, easier to measure than off-flavor compounds, can be used to quantify, characterize and
manage taste and odor (T&O) problems. Experimental methods and materials included the following:
three different raw waters (influence of water quality concentrations);
weekly sampling over 1 year (seasonal effects); and, statistical treatment of data. Temporal evolution and mean concentration of some water quality parameters in raw waters is presented, along with modeling geosmin and 2-MIB in raw waters using water quality parameters, and artificial neural networks modeling of geosmin in raw waters. Includes 4 references, figures.
