Pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals account for 6% of the Hquid-phase activated carbon consumption (74). Many antibiotics, vitarnins, and steroids are isolated from fermentation broths by adsorption onto carbon foUowed by solvent extraction and distillation (82). Other uses in pharmaceutical production include process water purification and removal of impurities from intravenous solutions prior to packaging (83). 

The energy requirements for desorbing 1,1-dichloroethane from activated carbon in a stripping—adsorption process for water purification have been calculated at 112 kj/kg (14). Chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,1-dichloroethane may easily be removed from water by air or steam stripping. 

Other Uses. The quantity of coal used for purposes other than combustion or processing is quite small (2,6). Coal, especially anthracite, has estabHshed markets for use as purifying and filtering agents in either the natural form or converted to activated carbon (see Carbon). The latter can be prepared from bituminous coal or coke, and is used in sewage treatment, water purification, respirator absorbers, solvent recovery, and in the food industry. Some of these markets are quite profitable and new uses are continually being sought for this material. 

To illustrate the use of ACF in water purification it is appropriate first to consider the experimental methods used to characterize aqueous adsorption in active carbons generally.

DAF is used to remove suspended solids by decreasing their apparent density they then rise and float on the water surface. DAF is also used to remove soluble iron, VOCs, oils, and surface active agents by oxidation, air stripping, and surface adsorption. The flotation technology is becoming one of the most important technologies for groundwater decontamination, industrial effluent treatment, and water purification.58-6170...

More advanced water purification techniques, utilizing UV-irradiation, ozonization, or activated charcoal, may significantly improve the removal of these compounds, but these techniques are not broadly applied due to their high cost. Thus, current European activated sludge treatment plants, with a hydraulic residence time not greater than 14 h, can in most cases not completely eliminate all the estrogens and progestogens from the effluent [23]. 

A method for extraction, purification and preconcentration of dialkyldimethylammo-nium compounds and other detergents before determining their concentration in sewage water and activated sludge was described. It consists of a series of LLE and LC operations, the details of which are dependent of the original matrix, and end analysis was by HPLC-ELCD406.
