Progress in Removal Technology of Taste and Odor Compounds-Geosmin and 2-MIB in Drinking Water Source

Aimin Li

Abstract

Geosmin and 2-MIB are main compounds causing taste and odor problem in drinking water.Activated carbon has been widely used as an adsorbent to remove odor compounds in drinking water.Effects of various factors on adsorption characteristics of activated carbon for taste and odor compounds were introduced,chemical oxidation and biodegradation technology for removing taste and odor compounds were also reviewed.
