Activated carbon filtration

The technology involves air-stripping columns where water flows downward by gravity while air is pumped upward. As the water flows down and passes over a packing

Prior to construction of the Ft. Eustis pest control facility, TRADOC requested the U.S. Army Medical Bioengineering Research and Development Laboratory (USAMBRDL) to investigate the feasibility of using an activated carbon filtration/absorption system to treat the pesticide-laden wastewater. The final system design was to 1) not be manpower intensive 2) not require extensive analytical monitoring, and 3) be compatible with both the types and quantities of pesticide wastes produced by a typical pest control facilty. The initial research was funded jointly by EPA and TRADOC.

The vendor states that due to the cost of spent carbon replacement, the cost savings for prefiltering wastewater through one tank of organoclay prior to activated carbon filtration is approximately 7115 per year, but probably depends on throughput (D14900I). 

Most metals cannot be treated by ATDU technology. Soils may require pretreatment if they contain oversized materials or greater than 30% moisture. The off-gas stream may require additional treatment by activated carbon filtration or thermal oxidization to remove light hydrocarbons.

A mixture of 116 g. of arsenic acid, 220 g. of concentrated sulfuric acid, 240 g. of glycerol, and 112 g. (0.81 mole) of p-nitroaniline is heated carefully imder a reflux condenser until the onset of an exothermic reaction. When the rate of reflux has decreased considerably, heat is again applied and the reflux temperature is maintained for 2.5-3 hours. The mixture is diluted with water, allowed to stand overnight, and filtered, and the filtrate is made alkaline with sodium hydroxide. The precipitated solid is separated, dissolved in hot dilute hydrochloric acid, and treated with activated carbon. Filtration followed by saturation of the filtrate with ammonia gas precipitates crystalline 6-nitroquinoline. Recrystallization from a mixture of ethanol and water gives 98 g. (70%) of product melting at 148-149°. 

Activated carbon A pound of carbon has a surface area of 125 acres and can absorb thousands of different contaminants. It is particularly effective on bad tastes and odors, chlorine, radon, most sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but has little ability to alkalize water. Activated carbon filtration systems are available in many forms, including under-the-counter and counter-top options and units that fit inside pitchers and even in personal water bottles.

Like all unit chemical processes, the RO is usually not capable of standing entirely by Itself. The important thing to remember is that a system must be developed to give a complete product. In the case of Cummins, the complete system includes dissolved air flotation, anthracite/sand filtration, activated carbon filtration and RO. In the case of Whitestone Chemical, the complete system includes RO and a cleaning regimen to maintain the RO at the required permeate flow rate. Time will tell which of these alternatives has the best economics. The economics and the proper system using RO are both dependent on the problem that requi res a solution.
