A review of the current research and advanced methods of highly colored natural water purification

Summary

In northern regions the management of water resources characterized by high color and significant natural organic matter content, represents one of the greatest challenges for modern water treatment systems. The traditional purification methods are often insufficiently effective for such water, spurring the active search and development of new, superior technologies. Over the past decade and a half, the research has shifted toward combined, hybrid solutions that not only provide for the high levels of purification but also meet the economic feasibility and environmental safety requirements. The review systematizes the current research and methods for highly colored natural water purification being studied and applied in Russia and overseas.

Key words
