Study on the Effect of Different Water Treatment Technology on Removing 2-MIB

To compare the removal efficiency of 2-MIB by traditional water treatment, prechlorination, O3-BAC, MIEX pre adsorption and UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation process, the pilot-test of drinking water odor control technology were studied in this paper. The results showed that the traditional water treatment process had poor effect on removing 2-MIB, with about 10% removal rate, while the O3-BAC process was the best at removing 2-MIB, whose removal rate reached over 90%. And the 2-MIB removal rate of UV/H2O2 process was about 55% and that of prechlorination process was about 20%. However, the MIEX pretreatment process had almost no effect on removing 2-MIB.
