Development of efficient characterization parameters for activated carbon used in drinking water treatment

In many drinking water treatment facilities with an activated carbon (AC) purification step, polar and hydrophilic molecules are substances of concern. Many of the current test methods for AC do not really reflect AC's adsorption capacity for these substances. To develop a fast and economically reasonable parameter that characterizes AC's ability to remove these compounds, three ...

On-site treatment of used wash-water using biologically activated membrane bioreactors operated at different solids retention times

Biologically activated membrane bioreactors (BAMBis) were operated at suspended solids retention times (SRT) of 7 and 102 days and at full solids retention. The effect of these different approaches of operation on the substrate and nutrient conversion, and on permeate flux, was investigated. Variations in organic loads and aeration intensities were also studied. Permeate flux stabilized ...
