Abstract:The scope of this study was to investigate how dissolved organic carbon concentration and ion composition of drinking water affect the concentration of organic compounds in wastewater treatment effluents. Full-scale wastewater treatment facilities in the Southwestern U.S., which differ in drinking water quality used in their service areas, were investigated. In addition, bench-scale and pilot scale studies were performed to study the impact of cations on the character and amount of soluble microbial products (… Show more
