  • What type of activated carbon is used in water treatment?
  • The most commonly used activated carbon in water treatment processes is a GAC made from bituminous coal with a typical surface area of 950 – 1050 m 2 g −1 and a particle size of 12 × 40 mesh (0.420 – 1.680 mm) or 8 × 30 mesh (0.590 – 2.380 mm) .
  • What is activated carbon?
  • Activated carbon is an absorbent material that provides a surface on which ions or molecules in the raw water can concentrate. It can be applied in two ways: slurry applications using powdered activated carbon (PAC) or fixed bed reactors with granular activated carbon (GAC) (AWWA, 2011a).
  • What is powdered activated carbon used for?
  • Water Res., 43 (17): 4177-4186. Kristiana, I., Joll, C. and Heitz, A. (2011). Powdered activated carbon coupled with enhanced coagulation for natural organic matter removal and disinfection by-product control: Application in a western Australian water treatment plant.
