Full Description

The removal of ug/L concentrations of perchlorate using biologically active carbon (BAC) filtration was investigated. Previous work has shown that BAC filtration can be a highly effective treatment process for the removal of perchlorate from drinking water. The work presented here demonstrated that BAC filtration is robust with respect to electron donor addition failure as well as influent perchlorate concentration. It also showed that empty-bed contact time (EBCT) is a key process parameter that affects perchlorate removal in the BAC filter. Includes 9 references.
