Abstract
Disinfection during water treatment can lead to the formation of unwanted disinfection byproducts (DBPs) arising from the reaction of the disinfectant and the Natural Organic Matter (NOM). Pre-treatment such as pre-oxidation can be applied to reduce the formation of DBPs. This Thesis presents an improved understanding of the mechanisms and the impact of pre-oxidation on NOM characteristics when chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is used as a pre-treatment, and its DBP reduction efficiency compared with other oxidants.
