Projecting competition between 2-methylisoborneol and natural organic matter in adsorption onto activated carbon from ozonated source waters

Though the ozone-activated carbon process has been widely applied for drinking water purification, little is known about how ozone-modified natural organic matter (NOM) competes with micropollutants in activated carbon adsorption. In this study, three natural waters and one synthetic water (standard humics solution) with highly heterogeneous...
