Organic matter (OM) refers to the largest reactive reservoir of carbon-based compounds on
Earth. Aside of its role as a source of carbon, OM is also actively involved in a wide range of …

The fluorescence characteristics of natural organic matter in a groundwater based drinking
water supply plant were studied with the aim of applying it as a technique to identify …

There are positively charged Ca 2+ and Mg 2+, negatively charged colloids and lots of
bacteria in seawater. The different surface potentials of ultrafiltration membranes may lead to …

Sea ice contains a large amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM), which can be released
into the ocean once it melts. In this study, Arctic sea ice DOM was characterized for its optical …

Organic fouling remains a significant challenge in the application of ultrafiltration (UF)
pretreatment systems in the desalination industry. In this study, the fouling potential of …

This work presents a multi-analytical approach for the characterization of marine dissolved
organic matter (DOM). The determination of marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was …

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) followed by dual-media filter (DMF) and ultrafiltration (UF)
membrane pre-treatments were run in parallel in a seawater desalination pilot plant in order …

Natural organic matter (NOM) from seawater is a complex mixture of compounds that has
only been roughly characterized. In this study, advanced techniques such as fractionation …

Despite being reduced by treatment, natural organic matter (NOM) is ubiquitous in drinking
water distribution systems (DWDSs) from sources to consumers' taps where it can potentially …

The quantification and characterization of natural organic matter (NOM) in seawater reverse
osmosis desalination (SWRO) is of great importance to improve our understanding of NOM …
