Abstract
The formation of halogenated organic byproducts, resulting from treating wastewater effluents with chlorine dioxide and chlorine, was studied in laboratory experiments. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and total organic halogen (TOX) were measured as criteria for halogenated organic byproduct formation. Chlorine dioxide and chlorine were compared at equal mass doses. Two wastewater effluents were studied—one containing substantial amounts of ammonia nitrogen and another containing less. Chlorine formed significant amounts of halogenated organics in both effluents. The amount of TOX produced by chlorine corresponded to 5 to 20 times the halogen content indicated by TTHM determinations.
