The specific ultraviolet absorbance （SUVA254： the ratio of UV254 to dissolved organic carbon （DOC））, which ranged between 0.9 and 5.0 L/（mg.m）, showed that the organic compounds in different source waters exhibited different reactivities with chlorine. The HAA7FP of source waters ranged from 20 to 448 μg/L and the THMFP ranged from 29 to 259 μg/L. The HAA7FP concentrations were higher than the THMFP concentrations in all but one of the samples. Therefore, the risks of haloacetic acids （HAAs） should be of concern in some source waters. TCM （chloroform） and BDCM （bromodichloromethane） were the major THM constituents, while TCAA （trichloroacetic acid） and DCAA （dichloroacetic acid） were the major HAA species. Br-THM （brominated THM species） were much higher than Br- HAA （brominated HAA species）, and the formation of Br-DBP （Br-THM and Br-HAA） should be of concern when the bromide concentration is over 100 μg/L.展开更多

The concentrations of total THMs, chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform in tap water were 12.70-41.74, 6.72-29.19, 1.12-11.75, 0.63-3.55 and 0.08-3.40 μg/L, respectively, whereas those in swimming pool water were 26.15-65.09, 9.50-36.97, 8.90-18.01, 5.19-22.78 and ND-6.56 μg/L, respectively. It implied that the concentration of THMs in swimming pool water was higher than those in tap water, particularly, brominated-THMs. Both tap water and swimming pool water contained concentrations of total THMs below the standards of the World Health Organization （WHO）, European Union （EU） and the United States Environmental Protection Agency （USEPA） phase Ⅰ, but 1 out of 60 tap water samples and 60 out of 72 swimming pool water samples contained those over the Standard of the USEPA phase Ⅱ. From the two cases of cancer risk assessment including Case Ⅰ Non-Swimmer and Case Ⅱ Swimmer, assessment of cancer risk of nonswimmers from exposure to THMs at the highest and the average concentrations was 4.43×10^-5 and 2.19×10^-5, respectively, which can be classified as acceptable risk according to the Standard of USEPA. Assessment of cancer risk of swimmers from exposure to THMs at the highest and the average concentrations was 1.47×10^-3 and 7.99×10^-4, respectively, which can be classified as unacceptable risk and needs to be improved. Risk of THMs exposure from swimming was 93.9%-94.2% of the total risk. Cancer risk of THMs concluded from various routes in descending order was： skin exposure while swimming, gastro-intestinal exposure from tap water intake, and skin exposure to tap water and gastro-intestinal exposure while swimming. Cancer risk from skin exposure while swimming was 94.18% of the total cancer risk.展开更多

Considering the disinfection byproduct （DBP） precursor treatability, DOM was divided into five chemical fractions based on resin adsorption. Trihalomethane formation potential （THMFP） and haloacetic acid formation potential （HAAFP） were measured for each fraction. The results showed that hydrophobic acids （HoA）, hydrophilic matter （HIM） and hydrophobic neutral （HoN） were the dominant fractions. Although both HoN and HoA were the main THM precursors, the contribution for THMFP changed after coagulation. Additionally, HoA and HiM were the main HAA precursors, while the contribution of HoN to HAAFP significantly increased after coagulation. HoM was more easily removed than HiM, no matter which coagulant was used, especially under enhanced coagulation conditions. DOC removal was highest for enhanced coagulation using FeCl3 while DBPFP was lowest using PAC1. This could indicate that not all DOC fractions contained the precursors of DBPs. Reduction of THMFP and HAAFP by PAC1 under enhanced coagulation could reach 51% and 59% respectively.展开更多

文摘针对含溴离子(Br-)的上海某水厂滤后水的高级氧化处理,考察了紫外/过氧化氢(UV/H_2O_2)技术对UV254和总有机碳(TOC)的削减效率、控制消毒副产物溴酸根(Br O-3)和三卤甲烷(THMs)的生成情况,同时研究了水中溴离子(Br-)浓度的改变对UV/H_2O_2处理效果的影响.结果表明,UV/H_2O_2处理工艺不产生Br O-3;500 m J·cm-2的UV剂量和5 mg·L-1H_2O_2投加量下,出水UV254和TOC分别降低了35%和21%;后续氯消毒过程中的THMs生成势随H_2O_2投加量的增加显著降低,500 m J·cm-2的UV剂量下,H_2O_2投加量为5 mg·L-1和10 mg·L-1时,THMs生成势的削减率分别为49.4%和79.9%;水中Br-浓度的改变不影响UV/H_2O_2工艺的运行效果;相比UV,UV/H_2O_2还可使9种农药的降解率提高50%—85%.因此,UV/H_2O_2在含Br-水源水深度处理方面有着较好的应用前景.
