This study was carried out to examine the behavior of THM formation in water treated with chlorine dioxide where humic acid was used as THM precursor. THM was not detected in bromide-free water, but formed in water containing bromide. When 10 mg/l of chlorine dioxide was added to water containing 5 mg/l of humic acid and bromide respectively, 20.46 ${\mu}$g/l of THM was formed. It is postulated that chlorine dioxide oxidize bromide to hydrobromous acid, which subsequently reacted with humic acids similar to chlorine reaction. The formation of THM could be reduced at low pH. Among THM formed, CHBr$_3$ was the predominant species in the alkaline solution, while CHCl$_3$ in the acidic solution. A sample pretreated with chlorine dioxide for 24h before addition of chlorine showed a reduction of 75.1% in THM formation, compared with a sample not pretreated with chlorine dioxide and a sample treated by chlorine for 24h prior to addition of chlorine dioxide also showed a reduction of 37.8% in THM formation, compared with a sample not added with chlorine dioxide. It may explain that chlorine dioxide oxidizes directly a fraction of THM.

Chlorine dioxide is being used to control THMs formation or taste & odor in water treatment plant. Recently, some operators or academic circles doubted the effectiveness of stabilized chlorine dioxide which is presumed as a liquid form of chlorine dioxide. In this study, we investigated components which consist of stabilized chlorine dioxide in terms of chlorine dioxide and chlorite. Two analytical methods used in this study are UV method and Iodometric method. Iodometric method is recommended by Korean EPA to check the purity of stabilized chlorine dioxide. The samples of stabilized chlorine dioxide from four water treatments were investigated and compared with that produced from chlorine dioxide generator on-site. This study demonstrated that the component of stabilized chlorine dioxide was overwhelmingly chlorite (${ClO_2}^-$) not chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) by UV method. It was also proved that Iodometric method (2nd method) recommended by Korean EPA could not differentiate between $ClO_2$ and ${ClO_2}^-$. Iodometric method (2nd method) recommended by Korean EPA should be revised accordingly to measure chlorine dioxide properly.

The effects of chlorine dioxide on the oxidation of phenol and disinfection were studied in the various test water conditions. With the 0.3mg/l of chlorine dioxide dose, the spiked phenol(initial concentration: 0.1mg/l) was completely oxidized within 10 minute. The removal rate of phenol was much faster in distilled water than in ground water and filtered water. The applied dose of chlorine dioxide concentrations higher than 0.2mg/l was sufficiently enough for the complete oxidation of phenol. However, with 0.1mg/l of dose, chlorine dioxide can oxidize only 20% of the spiked phenol. The reactive substances present in test water may influence the chlorine dioxide demand in water. pH effect of oxidation rate was also investigated. Increasing the pH, the removal rate of phenol was found to be increased. The disinfection test of chlorine and chlorine dioxide were conducted and compared. The lethal effect for the both disinfectants are similarly powerful. The time for 99% inactivation of E. coli was obtained within 120 sec with the 0.2mg/l of each dose.

This research was to determine and compare the inactivation of total coliform as the indicator organism with chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone for drinking water treatment. The inactivation of total coliform was experimentally analyzed for the dose of disinfectant, contact time, pH, Temperature and DOC. The experiments for the characterization of inactivation were performed in a series of batch processes with the total coliform as a general indicator organism based on chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone as disinfectants. The nearly 2.4, 3.0, 3.9 log inactivation of total coliform killed by injecting 1mg/L at 5 minutes for chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone. For the inactivation of 99.9%, Disinfectants required were 1.70, 1.00 and 0.60 mg/L for chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone, respectively. The bactericidal effects of disinfectants were decreased as the pH increased in the range of pH 6-9. The influence of pH change on the killing effect of chlorine dioxide was not strong, but that on ozone and free chlorine was sensitive. The bactericidal effects of the disinfectants were increased as the temperature increase. The activation energies were 36,053, 29,822, 24,906 J/mol of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone for coliforms. The inactivation effects were shown in the lowest order of chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone.

This study investigated the inactivation of the total coliform, an indicator organism in chlorine and chlorine in order to control microbial regrowth for water distribution systems and select an appropriate disinfection strategy for drinking water systems. The disinfection effects of chlorine and chlorine dioxide with regard to the dosage of disinfectant, contact time and DOC was investigated experimentally. In spite of the consistency of chlorine residuals at approximately 0.2 mg/l, bacteria regrowth was detected in the distribution system and it was confirmed by the scanning electron microscope results. The influence of organic carbon change on the killing effect of chlorine dioxide was strong.

This research sought to compare chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone as chemical disinfectants of drinking water, with inactivation of total coliform as the indicator. The inactivation of total coliform was tested against several variables, including the dose of disinfectant, contact time, pH, temperature and DOC. A series of batch processes were performed on water samples taken from the outlet of a settling basin in a conventional surface water treatment system that is provided with the raw water drawn from the mid-stream of the Han River. Injection of 1 mg/L of chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone resulted in nearly 2.4, 3.0 and 3.9 log inactivation, respectively, of total coliform at 5 min. To achieve 99.9 % the inactivation, the disinfectants were required in concentrations of 1.70, 1.00 and 0.60 mg/L for chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone, respectively. Bactericidal effects generally decreased as pH increased in the range of pH 6 to 9. The influence of pH change on the killing effect of chlorine dioxide was not strong, but that on ozone and free chlorine was sensitive. The activation energies of chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone were 36,053, 29,822 and 24,906 J/mol for coliforms with inactivation effects being shown in the lowest orders of these.

The disinfection of public water supplies has been used to prevent the transmission of waterborne diseases throughout the worlds. Although chlorine has been used as the primary disinfactant, its safety was first questioned in 1974 when chlorination of drinking water was found to result in the formation of trihalomethanes(THMs). Chlorine dioxide was selected as one alternative disinfactant. But the application of chlorine dioxide in water treatment has been limited because of concerns about the health effects of DBPs. In these experiments, chlorine dioxide showed the effective inactivation on both total coliforms and HPC at 3.0 mg $ClO_2/L$. The bactericidal effects of chlorine dioxide showed a tendency to increase as pH decreased, but the differences were not so sizable.

This study investigated the inactivation of the total coliform, an indicator organism in chlorine dioxide, in order to assess the optimal disinfection procedure for drinking water treatment and distribution systems. This research focus on a number of factors, including the dosage of disinfectant, contact time, pH, temperature and DOC. Water samples were taken from the outlet of a settling basin at a conventional surface water treatment system. As the pH increased in the range of pH 6-9, the bactericidal effects of disinfectants decreased. Changes in levels of pH did not significantly after the disinfection effect of chlorine dioxide for total coliform. With an increase in temperature, there was a subsequent increase in the bactericidal effects of disinfectants. Thus, it is evident that a decrease in temperature will higher the CT values required to inactivate coliform for during the winter. DOC addition can also reduce total coliform inactivation. DOC is the most significant variable in total coliform inactivation with chlorine dioxide.
