Abstract
Determines the nature and chemical characteristics of the unknown fraction of the total organic halogen (TOX) produced during chlorination and alternative disinfection processes (i.e., chloramination, chlorine dioxide, ozone disinfection). Determines the apparent molecular weight distribution of the TOX; differentiate the amounts of total organic bromine (TOBr), total organic chlorine (TOCl), and total organic iodide (TOI) in TOX; and identify the fraction of the TOX that is hydrophobic and hydrophilic for each disinfection process.
