The main objective of this research was to investigate the removal of natural organic matter
(NOM) through adsorption using iron-impregnated pumices from various natural sources. The use
of original or surface-modified pumices to remove NOM in water treatment operations was not
investigated in the available literature. The impacts of natural pumice source, particle size fraction,
pumice dose, pumice surface chemistry and specific surface area, iron impregnation, water pH and
temperature, and NOM source on the ultimate extent and rate of NOM removal were studied in
detail. The performances of iron-impregnated pumices in removing NOM were also compared
with those of commercial granular activated carbons (GAC). Includes 28 references, tables, figures.
