Abstract

When chlorine is employed as a surface disinfectant, the chlorinated organic compounds ‘trihalomethanes’ are formed from the interaction of chlorine with various organic substances in the water. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the association between increased cancer mortality and high concentrations of trihalomethanes. The soft drink industry has been using granular activated carbon (GAC) to eliminate chlorine and trihalomethanes in water processing for many years. Studies were conducted to determine the quantity and quality of trihalomethanes in the soft drinks. The total trihalomethanes concentration was highest in the Colas and lowest in Sprite and 7 Up. It is hypothesized that this variation is due to the method of Coca extraction and the presence of caramel.

The desorption of trihalomethanes ( THMs) in a cocurrent bubble column has been studied experimentally to validate a previously developed model. The experiments were carried out in a 0.2-m-diameter, 2.4-m-high, Plexiglas bubble column, equipped with seven samplers alongside. The phases in contact we
