The adsorbability of substances contained in water on activated carbon can be assessed relatively well from the physical and chemical properties and specific structural features of the substances. For difficultly adsorbable substances there have to be used combined techniques as coagulation/use of activated carbon, ozonation/use of activated carbon, membrane filtration/use of activated carbon or bioadsorption in the treatment of water. The two last-named techniques are outlined. Especially the bioadsorption as a combination of physical adsorption and biochemical oxidation inside the carbon filter constitutes a valuable technique of water treatment for some substances and combinations of substances. |
