This lecture covers the kinetics of disinfection, inactivation of microorganisms by ozone, UV disinfection, and the role of adsorption processes in water treatment. It discusses the formation and elimination of disinfection by-products, the use of activated carbon for micropollutant removal, and the influence of dissolved organic matter. The lecture also explores laboratory tests with activated carbon filters, specific throughput, and carbon usage rate, as well as the combination of powdered activated carbon with membranes. It concludes with insights on the seasonal treatment of water with micropollutants.
