The formation of volatile DBPs and haloacetic acids (HAAs) from algal organic matter (AOM) in different chloramination conditions (i.e., different monochloramine (NH₂Cl) dosages, pH values, and bromide concentrations) was studied. In chloramination of AOM, HAAs were the major DBP species, followed by trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetonitriles (HANs), and haloketones (HKs). The levels of THMs, HAAs, HKs, and HANs generated in chloramination were 75%, 69%, 68%, and 122% of those in chlorination, respectively. The concentrations of THMs and HAAs both doubled as the NH₂Cl dosage doubled. The proportions of bromodichloromethane and dibromochloromethane in THMs and the proportions of dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid in HAAs increased with the NH₂Cl dosage. Accelerating the pH value enhanced the formation of THMs, HAAs, and HANs, respectively, and favored the formation of brominated THMs. The HAN species distribution was unaffected by the NH₂Cl dosage and pH. Increasing bromide levels slightly increased the yield of THMs and slightly decreased the yields of HAAs and HKs. The species shift from the chlorinated to the brominated was more significant for THMs and HANs than for HAAs. The THM-BSF and dichloroacetonitrile-BSF values were lower in chloramination than in chlorination. The high pH value and bromide level significantly accelerated the THM-BSFs. The maximum values of THM-BSFs and dichloroacetonitrile-BSF were 0.6 and 0.5.
