They are not well-defined substances, but can generally be subdivided into three fractions, namely: humin, which represents components insoluble in aqueous solutions at all pH values, humic acids, which are soluble in alkaline to weakly acidic solutions, but deposit at or below pH 2.0 and fulvic acids, which are soluble in aqueous solutions at all pH values. Humic materials may be specifically targeted for removal from potable water supplies because they can adversely affect appearance and taste and they can react with chlorine to form potentially carcinogenic chlorinated organic compounds. Therefore, the adsorption and degradation of humic substances have been widely investigated in order to optimize their removal from solution. In the present study, natural organic polyelectrolytes (humic and fulvic acids) were removed by adsorption onto minerals and degradation using advanced oxidation processes. Many factors, such as pH value, initial concentration of reagents and reaction temperature, affected on the degradation were evaluated. In addition, the mechanism of the adsorption and degradation is discussed., ポスター発表梗概, Pacifichem 2005}, publisher = {Pacifichem 2005 Congress}, title = {Removal of humic substances in water by adsorption and degradation}, year = {2005} }
