    Keywords : micropollutants; activated carbon filtration; empty bed contact time EBCT ; pharmaceuticals; breakthrough curves; adsorption; PFOS; carbon use; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. READ MORE

  4. 3. Carbon Filters for Drinking Water Treatment – How Flow Rate and Empty Bed Contact Time Influence the Performance

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Wilma Bäckström Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Carbon filter; GAC; BAC; Biofilm; Flow rate; NOM; EBCT; Kolfilter; GAC; PAC; biofilm; flödeshastighet; NOM; uppehållstid;

    Abstract : Dricksvatten är en essentiell del av ett hållbart samhälle. Därför är det viktigt att säkerställa säkert dricksvatten genom fungerande vattenreningsverk. En viktig förorening att behandla är NOM, som i sig är ofarligt men som kan producera farliga föroreningar. En teknik som används för behandling av NOM är kolfiltrering. READ MORE

  5. 4. Removal of Arsenic in Ground Water from Northern Burkina Faso through Adsorption with Granular Ferric Hydroxide : A SIDA Minor Field Study at the Department of Chemistry, University of Ouagadougou

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära
