“…The use of a conventional groundwater treatment system in this case does not provide the required cleaning efficiency (Albrektiene, Rimeika, & Lubyte, 2011;Albrektiene, Rimeika, Zalieckiene, Saulys, & Zagorskis, 2012;Marsidi, complexes are regarded as the most stable. According to numerous researchers (Gonczarow et al, 2003;Sharma, 2001;Shiyan, Tropina, Machekhina, & Gryaznova, 2014;Khatri et al, 2017;Krupińska, 2017a), one of the reasons for iron stabilisation by organic substances in groundwater may also be formation of the so called protective colloids of hydrophilic character as a result of adsorption of organic substances on iron(III) hydroxide surface. Summing up, the conclusion may be clear that presence of organic substances, and especially humic substances in groundwater significantly impedes removal of iron.…”
