Analysis of modern safe methods of drinking water disinfection

Abstract

This paper considers the alternative methods of drinking water disinfection and their benefits, which can be offered for drinking water treatment. Such methods are the usage of chlorine dioxide or oxidants mixtures. Their main advantages are much fewer or no formation of toxic and carcinogenic by-products (trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids), removal of biofilms from water supply pipes, stronger disinfectant properties and availability, and safety of necessary substances.
