Algae cells and algal organic matter (AOM) present in algae impacted source water pose a
serious threat to the safety of drinking water. Conventional water treatment processes poorly …

Disinfection is an indispensable water treatment process for killing harmful pathogens and
protecting human health. However, the disinfection has caused significant public concern …

Many models have been developed in previous studies for predicting the formation of
disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water. However, most of them were linear or log …

Cyanobacterial blooms present great challenges to drinking water treatment and human
health. The novel combination of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) and ultraviolet (UV) …

Pre-ozonation of cyanobacterial (CB) cells in raw water and inter-ozonation of settled water
can cause CB cell damage. However, there is limited information about the level of lysis or …

Algal eutrophication in reservoirs is frequently accompanied by a remarkable increase in the
concentration of algogenic organic matter (AOM). Because AOM is well-known as an …

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) formed upon water treatment is an emerging issue
worldwide. While monitoring of DBP precursors can easily be achieved for high specific UV …

Natural organic matter (NOM) constitutes the terrestrial and aquatic sources of organic plant
like material found in water bodies. As of recently, an ever-increasing amount of effort is …

Aquatic plant-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water bodies is an important source
of disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors. It is therefore very important to investigate DBP …

This review paper deals with the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). Water basin
remains a wonderful chemical reactor that allows the occurrence of intricate secondary …
