Abstract This study used spectroscopic methods to investigate the fate and dynamics of natural organic matter (NOM) as it traverses the treatment train at three water treatment plants (WTPs) in South Africa. The character, quantity, and removability of NOM at specific treatment stages was investigated by measuring changes in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, specific ultra-violet absorbance, UV absorbance, various spectroscopic indices, and maximum fluorescence intensity levels. A novel method of identifying and quantifying fluorescent fractions by combining synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) and Gaussian peak fitting is presented. The dynamics of NOM removal were modeled using 2D-SFS correlation spectroscopy. Humic and fulvic substances dominated coastal plants and were the most amenable for removal by coagulation as shown by Hermanus WTP (plant H), which had a 42% DOC removal at the coagulation stage. Tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like and microbial humic-like substances were degraded or transformed concurrently at plant Flag Bushiole (FB) whereas, at plant H, fulvic-like matter was transformed first followed by tyrosine-like then humic-like matter. Through 2D-SFS, this study revealed that NOM transformation was varied as a consequence of NOM character, the type and dosage of treatment chemicals used, and WTPs operational parameters.

Abstract The increase of fluorescent natural organic matter (fNOM) fractions during drinking water treatment might lead to an increased coagulant dose and filter clogging, and can be a precursor for disinfection by-products. Consequently, efficient fNOM removal is essential, for which characterisation of fNOM fractions is crucial. This study aims to develop a robust monitoring tool for assessing fNOM fractions across water treatment processes. To achieve this, water samples were collected from six South African water treatment plants (WTPs) during winter and summer, and two plants in Belgium during spring. The removal of fNOM was monitored by assessing fluorescence excitation–emission matrices datasets using parallel factor analysis. The removal of fNOM during summer for South African WTPs was in the range 69–85%, and decreased to 42–64% in winter. In Belgian WTPs, fNOM removal was in the range 74–78%. Principal component analysis revealed a positive correlation between total fluorescence and total organic carbon (TOC). However, TOC had an insignificant contribution to the factors affecting fNOM removal. Overall, the study demonstrated the appearance of fNOM in the final chlorinated water, indicating that fNOM requires a customised monitoring technique.

Abstract To remove higher proportions of natural organic matter (NOM) in water treatment plants, over dosing of Al-based coagulant is frequently applied. However, this leads to the risk of an excess of coagulant residue in the clean water. In this study, sequential coagulation with polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and FeCl3 was proposed to improve the removal of NOM as well as to minimize residual Al. Single dosing with either PACl or FeCl3 in particular was compared with sequential coagulation, with different dosing sequences of PACl–FeCl3 (P–F) or FeCl3–PACl (F–P). At optimum dosage, sequential coagulation P–F showed twice as much dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal from water containing algogenic organic matter, compared to single dosing of PACl and sequential coagulation F–P. However, sequential coagulation F–P was the most effective approach for humic substance removal that improved DOC removal up to >70% compared to other dosing approaches (<60%). Practical treatment with real water also showed the advantages of sequential coagulation with P–F in improving the removal of low SUVA NOM by 18% compared to the traditional single dosing of PACl. As expected, the Al residues found in both sequential coagulation (0.07 mg/L) were significantly reduced compared to single dosing with PACl (0.15 mg/L), indicating the promising application of sequential coagulation for future safe water treatment.
