| Abstract | Introduction Due to the recent abnormal climate change, the average temperature of river and lake water has increased. Further, substances having taste and odor due to the presence of algae are detected even in the winter. In particular, natural organic matter (NOM), which is the major component of natural colloidal matter, is a major concern for a drinking water treatment. The understanding of NOM's structural chemistry can be used for the design of a treatment process for eliminating these components as well as their removal from drinking water (Leenheer, et al., 2003). The quantitative and qualitative understanding of the chemical properties and reactivity of NOM provides valuable information for a drinking water treatment (Kavurmaci, et al., 2016). In this study, the changes in NOM were observed by operating an advanced oxidation technology (AOP) process. This specialized process had recently been introduced for the effective removal of the emerging contaminants, which include substances having taste and odor, residual pharmaceuticals, non-biodegradable materials (including flame retardant materials), and chlorine-resistant pathogenic microorganisms through conventional water treatment processes. The purpose of this study is to analysis the natural organic substance change with fluorescence excitation emission matrix coupled with parallel factors analysis (PARAFAC) (Yu, et al., 2010). Especially, this study focuses on the impacts of UV alone and UV AOP consisting UV/H2O2 on organic matter characteristics prior GAC process. |
