Abstract
Evaluates how the concentration of raw water organic carbon affects iron complexation and the ability of oxidants to oxidize the complexed iron. Also investigates the fate of complexed iron during coagulation with alum, and how potassium permanganate, chlorine dioxide, and ozone each impact iron removal with alum coagulation. Studies the use of ferrous iron to eliminate chlorite. Published as two reports in 1993: Chlorite Ion Removal by Ferrous Iron Addition and Impacts of Dissolved Organic Carbon on Iron Removal.
