最近已经证明，溶液中铜的存在促进了三卤甲烷（THM）的形成。众所周知，铜能催化许多类似于传统卤化物形成的反应。因此，开展了一项研究，以调查在供水氯化过程中铜在氯仿形成中所起的特殊作用。含有大量已知THM前体的水溶液在有铜和无铜的情况下进行氯化，并对THM浓度进行时间过程监测。包括20个参考文献、图表。

It has been demonstrated recently that the presence of copper in solutionenhances trihalomethane (THM) formation. Copper is known to catalyze a number of reactions that are similar to the conventional haloform formation. A study was therefore initiated to investigate the specific role played by copper in the formation of chloroform during chlorination of water supplies. Aqueous solutions containing a number of known THM precursors were subjected to chlorination in the presence and absence of copper,and subjected to time-course monitoring of THM concentration.
