AbstractUV-absorbance and apparent molecular size distribution were recommended as surrogate parameters to evaluate the water quality. Experimental results revealed that almost all the water tested could be categorized by E220/E260 and E260 (sometimes with aid of apparent molecular size distribution and TOC/E260). By taking a look at the categorized diagram: 1) we could know the origin of the water, 2) we could estimate the other water quality parameters, 3) we could predict the treatability of water. UV-absorption was the easiest technique for monitoring and optimizing the coagulation processes. The effect of turbidity on absorbance could be eliminated by measuring the E500 of raw water. The research is also fixed on the mechanism of coagulation.
