REMOVAL OF NATURAL ORGANIC MATTER FROM DRINKING WATER BY HYBRID COAGULATION/ADSORPTION-MEMBRANE FILTRATION

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine both the changing value of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in water samples taken from influent of Kagithane Drinking Water Treatment Plant in Istanbul, and determine the removal efficiency of DOC, by separately applying coagulation, adsorption and membrane filtration methods to obtain the desired limits these methods are capable of producing.
