Abstract |
This research addressed quantification of the performance of fixed-bed granular activated carbon processes for treatment of public water supplies. It included evaluation of the adsorption of selected toxic and/or carcinogenic trace compounds of man-related origin, including carbon tetrachloride, benzene, two commercial mixtures of PCB's dieldrin, and p-dichlorobenzene. The adsorption behavior of the predominant class of natural organic matter and trihalomethane (THM) precursor, humic substances, was also characterized. The Michigan Adsorption Design and Applications Model (MADAM) was tested and found generally able to simulate and predict the performance of fixed-bed adsorbers for removal of the compounds investigated, with the exception of humic acids. |
