Pilot-plant studies were conducted on four raw
waters of varying quality from geographic locations
across the United States to investigate the effectiveness
of the magnetic ion exchange (MIEX) process for
removal of disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors
such as dissolved organic carbon and bromide. Anion
exchange was shown to be a useful process for removing
natural organic material (NOM) from raw drinking
water. Results indicated that DBP formation was lowered
appreciably; the extent of the reduction was a
function of the properties of the NOM and the inorganic
composition of the raw water.
The innovative aspect of the MIEX process is that it
is used at the head of a treatment plant, before coagulation.
Water utility managers can use the information
provided here to evaluate the suitability of this process
to meet their individual treatment needs and the composition
of their source waters. Includes 33 references, tables, figures.
