Novel biofilm-mediated bioprocesses for water purification

Monochloramine (MCA) is widely being used as a residual disinfectant in water distribution system as it is more stable than chlorine and lessens the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). In research, MCA are typically prepared right before each experiment as it decays significantly overti...
