Abstract:
Bacteria in drinking water, attached or not attached to goethite particles, were disinfected with chlorine. No additional protection was provided to the bacteria by their attachment to particles, and the limited efficiency of inactivation by chlorine was attributed to the presence of bacterial aggregates in both types of suspension.
