FORMATION OF HALOACETIC ACIDS FROM DISSOLVED ORGANIC MATTER AND ITS FRACTIONS DURING CHLORAMINATION

摘要

The information about the formation of haloacetic acids (HAAs) from different dissolved organic matter (DOM) components during chloramination is relatively limited in the literature. Most of the HAA data are mainly for 24-hr yields and the information about HAA formation kinetics is very limited for both the whole DOM solutions and DOM fractions. Furthermore, some of the available kinetics data are not reliable due to the quenching agent used in the experiments, creating artifacts especially for the early formation kinetics.
