We investigated the adsorption and removal performance of a
laboratory synthesized NZVI/AC on actual THM-containing water.
Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of initial
pH (pH0) of solution, NZVI/AC dosage and contact time (t) on the
removal efficiency. The kinetics of THM (CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl
and CHBr3) removal was also tested. The actual Fe content of
NZVI/AC was measured by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)
and the removal mechanism of THMs was identified using gas
chromatography (GC) technologies. The degradation products after
reaction were monitored with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
(GC–MS). Since the tested water was acquired from the
inflow of a local municipal water supply plant, the data are
expected to be profitable for choosing an effective NZVI/AC
composition, which can have practical use in degrading THMs in
drinking water.
