Removal of natural organic matter in full-scale conventional and advanced water treatment plants: Assimilable organic carbon and its precursors

This study aimed to investigate the performance of three full-scale long-time water treatment plants with influent from Taihu Lake for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) and assimilable organic carbon (AOC), emphasizing on the processes of pre- and post-ozonation and biological activated ca...
