Powdered activated carbon

The comparative study was conducted to investigate the performance and removal efficiencies of PFOS and PFOA in MBR and PAC-MBR. Solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by HPLC coupled with tandem MS (HPLC/MS/MS) was applied to quantitatively identify PFOS and PFOA in aqueous and sludge samples. Remova

In this study, the removal of nitrite from aqueous solution by adsorption was investigated. Sepiolite and powdered activated carbon (PAC) were used as adsorbents. In order to investigate the adsorption mechanisms, three simplified kinetic models, i.e., pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and int

This paper describes the findings of an experimental investigation carried out on a pilot scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) with the addition of powdered activated carbon (PAC) to analyze improvements in effluent quality and in the filtration process. The results refer to a pilot plant monitoring stre

Ceramic microfiltration combined with powdered activated carbon adsorption (PAC-MF) was tested for organic and microbial control using river water laden with sewerage effluents. The PAC-MF was compactly configured with PAC adsorption and MF filtration zones in one reactor. It was operated with PAC a

T reatment of sewage plant effluent by simple nanofiitration seems to be limited by organic fouling and only possible with extensive chemical cleaning. ............................................................................................................................ I ........... and outlo
