Adsorption treatment for the removal of humic substances from drinking water supply, using granular activated carbon and iron-containing adsorbents

This thesis investigates the removal by adsorption of potentially harmful natural organic matter, humic substances (HS), from the water supply using three different media granular activated carbon (GAC), iron-coated alumina (AAFS) and ferric oxihydroxide (akaganeite P-FeOOH). The adsorbents were cha...
