Abstract
The removal of natural organic matter (NOM) and its constituents from water is an emerging issue, and a robust treatment technology is needed to achieve this goal. Interest in research to overcome this problem has been growing steadily, and many technologies have been proposed for the removal of NOM from water. This chapter focuses on the removal of NOM and its constituents from water using adsorption technology, which has proved to be one of the best technologies for the removal of diverse types of aquatic pollutants. The principal NOM removal results obtained with different adsorbents have been summarized.
