Abstract |
The initial effort at the Pomona Advanced Waste Treatment Pilot Plant was directed toward developing technical and economic information on the granular carbon adsorption process for removing the dissolved organic contaminants (as measured by COD) remaining in the conventionally-treated wastewaters. Work on various modifications of the granular carbon adsorption process is continuing and the investigation of several other processes has been undertaken. In addition to carbon adsorption, the Pomona staff is working on ion exchange, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, mineral addition to conventional processes to enhance phosphorus removal and biological denitrification. |
