Adsorption of Humic Acid from Aqueous Solutions onto Modified Pumice with Hexadecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Removal of trihalomethanes (THMs) due to carcinogenic effects in liver, bladder, kidney and central nervous system dysfunctions is very crucial. Elimination of THMs precursors from drinking water resources is the most important step for inhibition of THMs formation. The aim...
