Abstract

• Chlorination of the NOM isolates and raw waters: • Rapidly formed organic chloramines within 10 minutes • Average organic chloramines production (10 minutes): 0.78 (NOM) and 0.96 (raw waters) mg-Cl2/mg-DON • Decomposition of organic chloramines occurred over time - decreased by 70% over 1 day • Monochloramination of the NOM isolates and raw waters: • Took much more time to form organic chloramines than chlorination • Average organic chloramines production (24 hours): 0.16 mg-Cl2/mg-DON • Organic chloramines formed upon monochloramination is more stable.
