Full Description

This paper provides data that adds insight to the impact of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on iron removal in water treatment. The specific objectives of this study were to: evaluate the effect of the relative molecular weight distribution of natural organic matter on the extent of iron complexation and the ability of various oxidants to oxidize complexed iron species; and evaluate the fate of complexed iron during the coagulation of DOC with alum.
