Granulated activated carbon

To enhance the purification process and increase the degree of purification, powdered activated carbon (PAC) may be added directly to the aeration tank, or the biologically treated wastewater may be filtered through granulated activated carbon (GAC) for posttreatment.

Dugway Proving Ground. Bematek engineers specified the appropriate operating conditions to reduce the size of spent granulated activated carbon to less than 0.5 mm at a process rate of 30 lb/hr. 

According to the vendor, FyreZyme bioremediation technology is about 10% the cost of granulated activated carbon (GAC) when used as an in situ treatment of volatile organic compounds [VOCs] (D10149V, p. 2). 

Finally, it is important to note that it is possible to produce carbon sorbents with dehganding properties from different materials. In Table 29.4 this is demonstrated for granulated activated carbon Novocarb (MAST Carbon International, US Patent 20020176840A1, Nov. 2002) prepared by pyrolysis of phenol-formaldehyde resins, and coconut shell derived activated carbon ZL-150 (Huzhou Beigang Enterprises Group Corp., P.R. China). 

Chloramines are dangerous for consumption when they go directly into the bloodstream. (Fortunately, normal digestive processes deactivate them). Kidney dialysis patients and fish owners need to take special care when using chloram-inated water, since chloramines go through the dialysis membranes and the fish gills. Addition of ascorbic acid, or removal by granulated activated carbon (GAC), prevent this problem. 

Granulated activated carbon (GAC) is commonly used in the water purification industry to remove oxidizers—such as chlorine—and some organics from municipal water treatment systems. GAC has also found a... 

The commercial granulated activated carbon of type A was produced from hard coal in activation process with steam by the Wood Dry Distillation Plant (Hajnowka, Poland). After grinding and sieving it was separated by elutriation method into several fractions of different burn-off [5], Three samples characterized by strongly differentiated bum-off and activation degree were chosen for experiments. 

Granulated activated carbon is thus preferred, if a high volume stream continuous purification operation makes it necessary. Thus gas purification is almost exclusively carried out in fixed-bed adsorbers with granulated carbon. Potable water in Western Europe and Japan is preferably freed of organic impurities by percolation over granulated activated carbon. 

In December 1988, the company introduced a new strain of B. amyloliquefaciens (strain V), which had been genetically modified to increase the synthesis of 5-phosphoribosyl-l-pyrophosphate, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of tryptophan (see Figure 1). After fermentation, tryptophan was extracted from the broth and purified using a series of filtration, crystallization, and separation processes. The purification procedures included contact with powdered activated carbon and then granulated activated carbon. The amount of powdered activated carbon in each batch was usually...

Carbon black Carbon decolorizing. Powdered and granulated activated carbon used for purification, decolorization, deodorization, separation and recovery in liquid or gas phase, in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food industries (glucose factories, sugar refiners, oil refining, wine treatment) for the treatment of drinking and industrial water, etc. Catalyst supports.

The history of SPE dates from more than fifty years ago, with granulated active carbons previously used in water treatment technologies. The pioneer work was conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service (Cincinnati, OH). After that, other approaches were investigated with petroleum pollutants, insecticides and VOCs. Disadvantages such as irreversible adsorption, analyte reactions on the activated carbon surface and low recoveries started research in new sorbent materials. See the historical review of SPE by I. Liska. ...
