Abstract
The objectives of this study were to; (1) Investigate how three different commercially available granular activated carbon media influenced the removal of synthetic organic compounds and natural (macromolecular) materials. (2) Identify adsorbent characteristics between these three carbon types that optimize the uptake of SOCs and NOMs, potentially demonstrating a full range of compound class coverage. (3) Provide the purveyors of these facilities with an assessment of the efficiency of GAC as a barrier technology for removal of a broad spectrum of trace organic contaminants and assess the potential life span of the filtration media.
