In addition, other properties of PHB can be used for example the excellent gas barrier effect, especially against CO2, and its biological efficiency for nitrate elimination during drinking water purification. 

All studies in literature concerning UV/Ti02 were carried out with MTBE concentrations above 80 mg/L in order to study mechanistic effects. However, in drinking water purification these concentrations are never present, because they are much higher than any taste and odor thresholds of MTBE (10-30 xg/L). There was no literature found on the apphcation of the UV/Ti02 process at lower MTBE levels relevant for drinking water treatment. 

Water treatment by granular activated carbon (GAC) filters is an effective technology for removing dissolved organic compounds. GAC filters are therefore applied for drinking water purification as well as decontamination of polluted water, as for example in pump and treat procedures. Unfortunately, removal capacity towards micropollutants is often reduced by natural organic matter (NOM) in water due to competitive interaction on GAC adsorption sites. 

In this chapter we discuss chemical and physical methods of drinking water purification, with special attention to water disinfection methods. 

Disinfection, using chemical and physical methods (see Table 1) is the final step in drinking water purification. 

Coagulation process is very similar to that discussed in the advanced primary treatment and drinking water purification (see Chapter 10). 

Reverse osmosis is the inverse of natural osmosis under pressure. Osmosis is the solvent flow from a more dilute solution toward a more concentrated one through a semi-permeable membrane. The process is driven by the osmotic pressure of the concentrated solution, which depends on the chemical identities of the solvent and the dissolved substance, as well as on their ratio. If the external pressure acting on the more concentrated solution is higher than its osmotic pressure, reverse osmosis, i.e. a solvent flow toward the more diluted solution happens through the membrane. Reverse osmosis is most commonly known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater, removing the salt and other effluent materials from the water molecules.
