Wang, Feifei (author), Pan, Jiazheng (author), Hu, Yulin (author), Zhou, Jie (author), Wang, Haoqian (author), Huang, Xin (author), Chu, Wenhai (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Biological activated carbon (BAC) filtration is usually considered to be able to decrease formation potentials (FPs) of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water treatment plant (DWTP). However, BAC filters with long running time may release microbial metabolites to effluents and therefore increase FPs of nitrogenous DBPs with high...journal article 2022
