    The removal of natural organic matter (NOM) on biological activated carbon depends on the amount of biodegradable organic carbon (BDOC) forming upon ozonation of water. The ozonation by-products described as BDOC consist of specific organic compounds (aldehydes, ketones, organic acids) and unknown assimilable organic carbon. The purpose of the study presented in this paper was to evaluate the effect of ozonation parameters (ozone dose and contact time) on the NOM characteristics measured by size exclusion chromatography, on the main ozonation by-products, aldehydes and ketones, determined by gas-chromatography and organic acids measured by ion chromatography. Experiments were performed with the ground water after iron and manganese removal, still containing comparatively high amounts of total organic carbon. Changes in molecular weight characteristics show that all the investigated NOM fractions reacted with ozone. The most reactive was the fraction of the highest molecular weight. The sum of organic acids was ten times as high as the sum of aldehydes and ketones. The amount of ozonation by-products highly depended on the ozone dose, whereas the contact time had a minor effect

    W pracy om贸wiono przyczyny wysokiego i zmiennego zapotrzebowania wody na dwutlenek chloru i zwi膮zane z tym niebezpiecze艅stwo nieskutecznej dezynfekcji wody. Wykazano brak istotnych korelacji pomi臋dzy zapotrzebowaniem wody na dwutlenek chloru a parametrami charakteryzuj膮cymi substancje organiczne obecne w wodzie, takimi jak og贸lny w臋giel organiczny, absorbancja w艂a艣ciwa (SUVA), czy zapotrzebowanie na ozon. W badaniach stwierdzono, ze ozonowanie wody i nast臋puj膮ca po nim filtracja przez biologicznie aktywne z艂o偶a w臋gla aktywnego zapewniaj膮 skuteczne obni偶enie i stabilizacj臋 zapotrzebowania wody na dwutlenek chloru. Zwr贸cono uwag臋 na fakt, i偶 niedostosowanie dawki dwutlenku chloru do warto艣ci zapotrzebowania mo偶e nie艣膰 z sob膮 niebezpiecze艅stwo wt贸rnego rozwoju bakterii w sieci wodoci膮gowej, tym bardziej, i偶 w reakcji dwutlenku chloru z substancjami organicznymi powstaj膮 艂atwo biodegradowalne produkty uboczne.The paper specifies the contributors to the high and variable chlorine dioxide demand and points out the concomitant risk that the final extent of disinfection will be insufficient. The study has revealed a lack of correlation between chlorine dioxide demand and total organic carbon, SUVA and ozone. Ozonation followed by biofiltration through active carbon filters provides not only a decrease but also a stabilization of the chlorine dioxide demand
