The objectives of this study were to determine the efficiency of adsorption of powdered activated carbon (PAC) for a typical synthetic organic chemical, to evaluate the importance of particle size and background organ& and to develop a procedure to predict the performance of PAC. Results showed that performance can be significantly improved by using smaller-size PAC but that the rate of adsorption and PAC capacity are markedly reduced when naturally occurring humic substances are present in the groundwater. Accurate predictions of the removal of trace organics by PAC in a continuously stirred tank reactor were made by running equilibrium and closed-batch kinetic tests, determining equilibrium and kinetic constants, and using an equation to determine the removal efficiency of the PAC for any contact time. Many synthetic organic chemicals water supplies by water runoff, through (SOCs), including the volatile organic waste discharge, or by chemical spills. chemicals (VOCs), in drinking water are Granular activated carbon (GAC) is of interest because of their potential commonly used in fixed-bed adsorbers to mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and tox- remove SOCs and organic compounds icity.
