  Micropollutant, Micropollutant Metabolites and Toxin Removals in a Drinking Water Treatment Plant Using Some Novel and Economical Removal Processes
  Author(s): Delia Teresa Sponza* and Yudam Blylk Aras
  
  The aim of this study was to detect the levels of heptachlor (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8-Heptachloro-3a, 4, 7, 7a-tetrahydro-4, 7-methano-1H-indene) and acetochlor (2-Chloro-N-(ethoxymethyl)-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-acetamide) Micropollutants (MK), their Metabolites (M) (heptachlor epoxide and fenthion and fenthion sulfoxide and some Toxins (T) (mycrocystin and aplysiatoxin from cyanotoxin) in the raw water of a drinking water treatment plant. Measurement procedures for the MK, M, and Ts have been developed. A sequential treatment process consisting of a Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC)/contact aerobic Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), Electro Fenton (EF) and NanoFiltration (NF) were found to be efficient in the treatment of MK, M and T. The maximum heptachlor and acetachlor removals in GAC by adsorption was 64% and 14%, respectively, while the Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) yields were recorded.. View more»
