Release of nitrogenous disinfection by-product precursors in algae-laden water under UV radiation

Nitrogen-containing organic compounds and nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) in drinking water have attracted attention in the field of water treatment. Metabolites released during algae growth contain a variety of organic nitrogen species, which are called N-DBP precursors. The aim of th...
