Removal of Micropollutants by Granular Activated Carbon: Interactions Between Adsorption and Biodegradation in the Presence of Humic Substances

将研究吸附性能的变化， 用于水处理的颗粒活性炭， 微生物在颗粒上生长的结果， 或有利地影响碳执行该功能的能力。 该过程是为之设计的。 这项研究成果 有可能应用于改善工程设计， 水和废水处理过程，取决于使用 用于去除水和废水中的污染物的碳床。

Research will be conducted on changes in adsorptive properties of granular activated carbon used in treatment of water that are a consequence of microbial growth on the granules and which may adversely or beneficially affect the ability of the carbon to perform the function for which the process was designed. Results of this research are likely to be applied toward improvement of engineering design of water and wastewatertreatment processes that are dependent upon the use of carbon beds for removal of pollutants from water and wastewater.
