Disproportionate Changes in Composition and Molecular Size Spectra of Dissolved Organic Matter between Influent and Effluent from a Major Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant
·
Dynamic changes in the abundance, composition, and size spectra of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in different size-fractions between influent and effluent from Milwaukee metropolitan wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were evaluated using size-fractionation, excitation-emission matrix (EEM) coupled with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), and ΔEEM approaches.
