A Comprehensive Review on the Progress of Coagulation for Natural Organic Matter Removal in Water Treatment

Natural organic matter (NOM) seriously challenges the drinking water supply. It typically exists as complex substances generated in natural ecosystem part of hydrologic, biological, and geological cycles. The significant variation, composition, abundance NOM or wastewater necessitate implementation robust adaptive technologies, particularly addressing even more stringent standards supply treated discharge. Coagulation is one most common processes for treatments. highly desirable to treat feed containing because it prevents disinfection by-products formation. Therefore, current dynamics terms varying compositions concentrations demand improvement handling coagulation process through optimization operational parameters (dosing control pH), application novel effective coagulants, a combination with other intensification. This review provides comprehensive analysis recent literature on developments removal. coagulants are grouped systematically assessed. Next, enhanced via intensification (membrane filtration, oxidation, adsorption, ion exchange) discussed. Lastly, future outlook research direction sustainable listed support circular bioeconomy.
