Abstract
The removal of biopolymer natural organic matter surrogates (uncharged dextran and anionic alginate, both polysaccharides) spiked in ultra-pure (UP) and tap water was investigated with weak (WBA) and strong (SBA) basic anion exchange resins (AER). It was found that SBA resins with OFT counter ions could remove up to 95% of the dextran by Hbonding in UP water, while ions present in tap water, including the anionic humics, impeded this interaction. Alginate was moderately removed (less than 50%) by ion exchange (IEX) with WBA and SBA resins in both UP and tap water, while WBA and SBA resins achieved a good humics removal (over 90%) from tap water by IEX. It is suggested that the larger size and more hydrophilic nature of alginate compared to humics explain these differences.
