Groundwater in the area of eastern Croatia contains increased concentrations of organic compounds, primarily natural organic matter (NOM). Organic compounds in water become a problem in drinking water treatment, especially during water disinfection with chlorine, when harmful disinfection by-products like trihalomethanes appear. Therefore, the removal of disinfection byproducts (DBP) precursors gains high importance. This paper deals with the efficiency of NOM removal from groundwater by the Fenton’s process and its influence on trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP). In this research performance of Fenton process at conditions close to conditions of natural groundwater was investigated. pH value was not decreased under 4.5 and attempt was done to perform Fenton’s process at natural iron concentration in groundwater of town Osijek area. Once optimized, process achieved about 50 % removal of TOC (2.5 mM H2O2; 0.1 mM Fe2+; pH 4.5) and decrease of THMFP (A254/A203) for about 70 % (5 mM H2O2; 0.1 mM Fe2+; pH 4.5). Under adequate conditions Fenton process could be successfully used for the removal of organic contaminants from groundwater.

The Hot Water Percolation (HWP) technique for preparing soil extracts has several advantages: it is easily carried out, fast, and several parameters can be measured from the same solution. The object of this study was to examine the possible use of HWP extracts for the characterization of soil organic matter. The HPLC-SEC chromatograms, UV-VIS and fluorescence properties of the HWP extracts were studied and the results were compared with those of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) Soil Humic Acid (HA), IHSS Soil Fulvic Acid (FA) and IHSS Suwannee Natural Organic Matter (NOM) standards as well as their HA counterparts isolated by traditional extraction methods from the original soil samples. The DOM of the HWP solution is probably a mixture of organic materials, which have some characteristics similar to the Soil FA fractions and NOM. The HWP extracted organic material can be studied and characterized using simple techniques, like UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy.
