Experiments were performed to study the effects of oxidation on the natural organic
matter (NOM) coating on particle surfaces, and the consequent effects on particle removal.
NOM coating on particles was characterized using adsorption density and adsorbed
hydrodynamic layer thickness. The effects on particle removal were characterized using
attachment efficiency among particles. Results indicate that oxidation, in general, has the
tendency to remove/desorb part of the NOM coating from particles. As a result, oxidation can
decrease particle stability and, thereby, enhance particle removals in conventional treatment
processes. Includes 5 references, table, figures.
