  • Can activated carbon be used in wastewater treatment?
  • This paper review, types of activated carbon, their applications and recovery methods in wastewater treatment. Activated carbon from conventional waste such as agricultural waste, woody waste and non conventional waste such as municipal waste can be used as a low cost media for waste water purifications.
  • Are activated carbon-based processes a viable alternative to urban wastewater treatment?
  • Activated carbon-based processes and ozonation are so far the most viable advanced treatment options for enhanced removal of organic microcontaminants of emerging concern from urban wastewaters. This is evidenced by their increasing full-scale implementation in urban WWTPs in Europe, mainly in Switzerland and Germany.
  • What is activated carbon used for?
  • Due to its unique characteristics, it has various applications in water purification, domestic and industrial wastewater treatment, desalination, refining and separating gases, odour and pollutant removal and medical applications in many parts of the world. Today, various industrial wastes are used to produce activated carbon.
  • Are coal-based adsorbents effective in water and wastewater treatment?
  • This is because besides being inexpensive and abundant in many countries, coal possesses very exciting characteristics that make it aneffective adsorbent for the removal of various organic and inorganic pollutants. In this regard, this review paper critically analyses the use of coal-based adsorbents in the treatment of water and wastewater.
