Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Humic substances are usually regarded as the major DBP precursors in water. As compared to humic substances, algae can contribute significantly to the DBP precursors. A comparison of the DBP formation between algal cells and humic substances during chlorination in the laboratory was investigated. According to elemental and fluorescence analysis, alage contain more nitrogenous compounds than humic acid, and generate less THMs due to produce other N-DBPs. The molar ratio Br-/Cl2 is an important factor for THM formation and speciation.
