本文综合了过去几十年来所做的工作，以更好地理解通过混凝过程去除有机污染物，单独或与其他过程相结合。公布的数据表明，混凝可以显著降低饮用水中某些有机污染物的浓度，了解混凝去除有机污染物的基本机制有助于定性预测可能去除的污染物类型和过程控制变量的影响。数据还表明，通过混凝去除有机污染物可能会受到其他过程的影响，如预分区，并且混凝可以通过后续处理过程（如过滤和活性炭吸附）影响有机污染物的去除。 包括143个参考文献、表格、图表。

This article synthesizes work done over the past few decades to better understand the removal of organic contaminants by the coagulation process, alone and in combination with other processes. Published data demonstrate that coagulation can substantially reduce the concentration of certain organic contaminants found in drinking water supplies, and that an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms by which coagulation removes organic contaminants facilitates qualitative prediction of the types of contaminants likely to be removed and the effects of process control variables. Data also demonstrate that removal of organic contaminants by coagulation can be influenced by other processes, such as preozonation, and that coagulation can influence the removal of organic contaminants by subsequent treatment processes, such as filtration and activated carbon adsorption. Includes 143 references, tables, figures.
