Disinfection process by chlorine has been
applying effectively in drinking water treatment processes;
nevertheless it causes the formation of THMs which are thought
to be carcinogen. Restrictions of THMs had been imposed by
organizations in most of the countries. In Istanbul, these limit
values were not exceeded in present time, but organic content of
drinking water supplies is accreted by the increment pollution
on occasion of population growth. This will lead to investigate
and apply an extra treatment unit for THM removals. In this
study, application of nanoparticle was researched in THM
removal from tap water. Nanoparticle used in the process was
sintered into zeolite in coin form. The results were promising. It
was observed that unsintered form was more effective on
removal of THMs than sintered form of α-Fe2O3. Furthermore,
nanoparticles in zeolite form advanced the adsorption capacity
of zeolite.
