Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is distributed ubiquitously in water bodies. Ferric ions can flocculate DOM to form stable coprecipitates; however, Al(III) may alter the structures and stability of Fe-DOM coprecipitates. This study aimed to examine the coprecipitation of Fe, Al, and DOM as well as structural developments of Fe-DOM coprecipitates in relation to changes in Fe/Al ratios and pHs. The results showed that the derived Fe/Al/DOM-coprecipitates could be classified into three categories: (1) at pH 3.0 and 4.5, the corner-sharing FeO |
