Naladala, Nagasrinivasa Rao Singh, Rambabu Venkatesh, A.S. Bose, P. K, Prasad Babu Narayan, I. D. Effectiveness of Bio-Activated Carbon Filtration and Ozonation on Control of Halo Acetic Acids Formation during Chlorination of Ganga River Water at Kanpur, India <p>Chlorinated water from River Ganga is the main source of drinking water in Kanpur, India. But, this water contains a significant amount of disinfection by-products (DBPs) that include haloacetic acids (HAAs) as a major contributor, which pose a carcinogenic risk on long-term ingestion. Therefore, in order to control HAAs formation, different combinations of ozonation and bio-activated carbon filtration (BAC-filtration) were studied. The results elucidate that slight ozonation followed by BAC-filtration proved effective in reducing (75.8%) HAAs formation and meet the USEPA drinking standards. These findings open a path to explore cost-effective treatment techniques in continuous mode for safe drinking water.</p> Ozone;Ganga River water;ozonation;BAC-filtration;chlorination;HAAs formation 2019-04-26
