| Abstract |
Numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are under regulatory consideration for inclusion in the National Primary Drinking Water Standards. Adsorption is a cost-effective treatment technology for control of VOCs. Adsorption capacities were determined for fifteen VOCs in distilled and field waters using different procedures. A macroisotherm procedure, testing 100 gallons of water, was compared with a bottle isotherm procedure, testing 250 mL of water. While procedures were comparable, conventional bottle procedures were better suited to water utility laboratories. Scale was found to have no significant effect on adsorption capacity. |
