The rate-determining step in the oxidation of iron pyrite and the formation of acidity in streams associated with coal and copper mines is the oxidation of ferrous iron. Effective pollution abatement necessitates control ling this reaction.

Various water quality and treatment characteristics were evaluated under controlled chlorination conditions to determine their influences on the formation and distribution of nine haloacetic acids and four trihalomethanes in drinking water. Raw waters were sampled from five water utilities and were coagulated with alum and fractionated with XAD-8 resin. The resulting four fractions--raw and coagulated water and the hydrophobic and hydrophilic extracts--were then chlorinated at pH 6 and 8 and held at 20 degrees C for various contact times. The results show that increasing pH from 6 to 8 increased trihalomethane formation but decreased trihaloacetic acid formation, with little effect on dihaloacetic acid formation. More trihalomethanes were formed than haloacetic acids at pH 8, while the reverse was true at pH 6. Hydrophobic fractions always gave higher haloacetic acid and trihalomethane formation potentials than their corresponding hydrophilic fractions, but hydrophilic carbon also played an important role in disinfection byproduct formation for waters with low humic content. The bromine-containing species comprised a higher molar proportion of the trihalomethanes than of the haloacetic acids. The hydrophilic fractions were more reactive with bromine than their corresponding hydrophobic fractions. Coagulation generally removed more haloacetic acid precursors than trihalomethane precursors. Waters with higher specific ultraviolet absorbance values were more amenable to removal of organic material by coagulation than waters with low specific ultraviolet absorbance values. Experimental evidence suggests that haloacetic acid precursors have a higher aromatic content than trihalomethane precursors.

Ten aquatic humic and fulvic acids were isolated and studied with respect to their reaction with chlorine. Yields of TOX, chloroform, trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetonitrile, and 1,1,1-trichloropropanone were measured at pH 7 and 12. Humic acids produced higher concentrations than their corresponding fulvic acids of all byproducts except 1,1,1-trichloropropanone. Chlorine consumption and byproduct formation were related to fundamental chemical characteristics of the humic materials. A statistical model was proposed for activated aromatic content based on 13C NMR and base titration data. The values estimated from this model were found to be well correlated with chlorine consumption. Specific byproduct formation was related to UV absorbance, nitrogen content, or the activated aromatic content.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of bromide ion on the distribution of haloacetic acid (HAA) species resulting from the chlorination and chloramination of waters containing aquatic humic substances. Aquatic humic substances were extracted from a surface water and a groundwater and were chlorinated and chloraminated under standard conditions at pH 8 and pH 6 in the presence of bromide concentrations ranging from 0 to 25 µM (0-2 mg/L). The treated waters were analyzed for all nine of the HAA species containing bromine and chlorine. Standards for bromodichloroacetic acid and dibromochloroacetic acid were not commercially available but were synthesized for use in this study. Bromochloro-, bromodichloro-, and dibromochloroacetic acid were readily formed and constituted at least 10% of the total HAA concentration in waters containing as little as 1.2 µM (0.1 mg/L) bromide. The mixed bromochloro HAA species were major components of the total HAA concentration at bromide concentrations found in raw drinking waters. Distribution of the HAA species among the mono-, di-, and trihalogenated forms appeared to be independent of bromide concentration.
