AWWA ACE90012

The 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act require the US Environmental Protection Agency to develop regulations for disinfection byproducts. It is expected that stringent maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) will be established for each of the oxychlorine species. This will have the effect of limiting use of chlorine dioxide to treatment plants that can control chlorite and chlorate. With that in mind, an evaluation was performed to assess the fate of the inorganic chlorine dioxide byproducts through selected water treatment processes. The principal objectives were to determine the effect of granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration on chlorite and chlorate ion levels, and the effect of reducing agents (e.g., sulfur dioxide) on chlorite and chlorate ion concentrations.
