Abstract: In
this study, we investigated the removal of organic matter from water through
the adsorption method. The experimental studies were conducted using the
following water samples: (i) a synthetic organic matter solution with a very
low range of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), (ii) a synthetic organic matter
solution with a high range of DOC, (iii) the solution studied after ozonation
of a water sample containing natural organic matter at an ozone dose of
approximately 2 mg/L, and (iv) the supernatant solution of the sludge from a
natural water sample subjected to coagulation-flocculation. In addition to
investigating the efficiency of organic matter removal through activated carbon
adsorption in the experiments, we also examined the performance of CaCO3
particles prepared in the laboratory in adsorption. The addition of CaCO3
to powdered activated carbon (PAC) increased the adsorption efficiency compared
to experiments using only PAC for organic matter removal.
