- Abstract
- Potable water reuse provides an alternative water supply for areas struggling to meet water demands. In potable reuse, state-of-the-art treatment processes such as reverse osmosis and advanced oxidation with UV light and hydrogen peroxide are used to remove pathogens and most chemical contaminants. However, low molecular weight, neutral compounds can pass through reverse osmosis treatment. Even at extremely low concentrations (i.e., in the low ng/L range), some of these compounds pose health risks while others could compromise aesthetics. These contaminants are particularly problematic in situations in which treated water is not diluted substantially or when reuse is practiced without an environmental buffer where organic compounds could volatilize or undergo transformation reactions. Understanding the occurrence of low molecular weight compounds in various types of wastewater as well as assessing their removal in advanced treatment processes is essential in moving forward with direct potable reuse.
