Activated Carbon: Solutions for Improving Water Quality

By Garret P. Westerhoff, Zaid Chowdhury, R. Scott Summers, et al.

Activated carbon is simple to operate as an adsorption medium for water, serves as a proactive barrier for contamination, and does not produce by-products from its use. Used in treatment worldwide, activated carbon produces very high-quality water. Its implementation helps utilities gain regulatory compliance and position themselves to meet future requirements.Thissolutions-oriented book for water treatment providers, engineers, and students covers three major areas of concern._x000d_
1. Fundamentals of activated carbon adsorption to provide a basic understanding of activated carbon technologies for drinking water treatment._x000d_
2.Adsorption applications, approaches, and case studies that demonstrate how and where activated carbon has been implemented to solve specific water quality challenges._x000d_
3.System design and procurement approaches to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in the use of granular activated carbon and powdered activated carbon.
