Granular Activated Carbon(GAC) is widely used in drinking water treatment. Many of the problems occurring in the GAC process are associated with the operation goal and performance. The purpose of this study were to evaluate the design, operation, and performance of granular activated carbon process in D water treatment plant. The optimal operation conditions of GAC process such as backwashing condition, granular activated carbon replacement time were discussed. The design, operation and performance of GAC process is influenced by their raw water characteristics and placement within the treatment process sequence. A critical analysis of plants experience and the information from the literature identifies the effectiveness of GAC process and indicates where modifications in design and operation could lead to improved performance. It would be useful to evaluate and optimize the GAC process in other treatment plant.

This study investigated the decomposition of fenitrothion in Smithion, which is applied on the golf course for pesticide, by the integrated Zero-valent iron(ZVI) and Granular activated carbon(GAC) process. First, the removal efficiencies of the fenitrothion by ZVI and GAC, respectively, were investigated. Second, the removal efficiencies of the fenitrothion by the integrated ZVI and GAC were investigated. The removal efficiencies of fenitrothion by ZVI were higher than those of TOC. The removal efficiencies of fenitrothion and TOC by GAC were similar. As the dosages of ZVI and GAC were increased, the removal efficiencies of fenitrothion and TOC increased. However, as the dosages of ZVI for pretreatment were increased, the adsorptions of fenitrothion on GAC were hindered.

정수용 입상활성탄 (granular activated carbon, GAC)으로 사용되는 식물계와 석탄계 활성탄의 미생물 재생장 현상을 파악하고 비교하기 위해 활성탄 칼럼을 대상으로, 유입수와 유출수 비교와 함께 활성탄 상의 종속영양세균의 분포와 활성을 분석하였다. 활성탄 칼럼은 총유기탄소와 잔류염소를 잘 제거하였으며 이온은 잘 제거하지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 칼럼 유출수의 세균수는 10일째 파과 (breakthrough)가 발생한 후 증가하여 최종적으로 석탄계와 식물계 활성탄에서 각각 1.1 ${\times}$ $10^3$, 6.2 ${\times}$ $10^2$ CFU/mL로 나타났다. 칼럼 내부 활성탄 상의 미생물 활성은 GAC-C가 15.35~29.06$\mu\textrm{g}$ INT-formazan/g-GAC/h이었고, 세균수와 세균활성 모두 석탄계가 조금 높았다. 입상활성탄 상의 미생물 재생장 현상이 확인되었고, 석탄계 활성탄이 야자계 활성탄보다 미생물 재생장 유발 효과가 큰 것으로 판명되었으며, 활성탄 상의 세균에 의한 유기물 제거능력이 확인되었다.

The present study investigates treatment methods for removal of arsenic from wastewater. The granular activated carbon (GAC) with the coating of iron chloride ($FeCl_3$) was used for the treatment of a low concentration of arsenic from wastewater. Batch experiments were performed to investigate the synthesis of Fe-GAC (Iron coated granular activated carbon), effects of pH, adsorption kinetics and the Langmuir model. The synthesized Fe-GAC with 0.1 M $FeCl_3$ shows best removal efficiency. Adsorption studies were carried out in the optimum pH range of 4-6 for arsenic removal. The Fe-GAC showed promising results by removing 99.4% of arsenic. In the adsorption isotherm studies, the observed data fitted well with the Langmuir models. In continuous column study showed that As(V) could be removed to below 0.25 mg/L within 1,020 pore volume. Our results suggest that the surface modified granular activated carbon treated with $FeCl_3$ for effective removal of arsenic from wastewater.

페놀을 함유한 폐 활성탄의 가열 재생시 대기 오염물인 페놀이 생성되어 환경을 오염시키므로 발생하는 페놀 제거에 대한 검토가 필요하다 본 연구에서 실험에 사용하여 페놀을 함유한 S.회사 활성탄(WS-GAC), C.회사 활성탄(WC-GAC), L.회사 활성탄(UL-GAC)의 전해산화는 정전위 전해방식으로 실험하였다. 시료에 함유된 페놀농도는 100 rng/g, 지지 전해질은 1.0% 염화나트륨 용액, Ti-Ir(10$\times$10$ extrm{cm}^2$)전극 간격은 2 cm,전류밀도는 $1.25 A/dm^2$인 조건에서 실험이 이루워졌을 경우 전해 산화 실험에서 얻은 결과 페놀의 잔류물은 검출되지 않았다. 그러므로 전해산화 반응에서 빈응시간, 전류밀도, 지지전해질의 농도, 전극간의 거리가 60 minutes, 1.25 $A/dm^2$, 1.0%, 2 cm 임을 알 수 있었다.

정수용 입상활성탄(Granular Activated Carbon, GAC)에서 발생하는 세균 생장 현상을 파악하기 위해 활성탄 칼럼을 제작하고, 수돗물을 고정식 상향류 방식으로 (EBCT = 0.92~1분) 통수시켰다. 봄에는 14일 동안 세균수의 파과(breakthrough) 현상이 없었다. 여름에는 야자계와 석탄계 활성탄 칼럼의 유출 세균수는 비슷하여 파과전에 $10^2$ CFU/ ml수준으로 유입수보다 낮았지만, 10일 이후 유출수가 $10^3$ CFU/ml 로 유입수의 $10^2$ CFU/ml보다 높은 값을 보였다. 칼럼 내부 4지점의 활성탄을 깊이에 따라 분석했을 때 유입수 유입부에 가까울수록 많은 세균수가 관찰되었고 세균군집의 활성은 유사하였다 성장하는 세균은 야자계와 석탄계 활성탄이 서로 달랐지만 Acinetobacter 속이 우점을 이루고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The characteristics of filter/adsorber granular activated carbon (F/A GAC) were investigated by measuring various parameters, which include surface area, pore volume, abrasion number, floater, and water-soluble ash. The correlation between parameters was also evaluated. Moreover, rapid small-scale column test (RSSCT) was conducted for adsorption characteristics. Thirteen F/A GAC were tested, and the average values of abrasion number and water-soluble ash were 88.9 and 0.15%, respectively. F/A GAC with the larger external surface area and greater mesopore volume had the lower abrasion number, which indicated that it was worn out relatively easily. Water-soluble ash of coconut-based GAC (about 2.6%) was greater than that of coal-based GAC (less than 1%), and the pH of solution was increased with GAC, which had the higher water-soluble ash. On the other hand, floater of thirteen F/A GAC was divided as two groups, which one group had relatively higher floater (2.7~3.5%) and the other group had lower floater (approximately 0.5%). The results of RSSCT indicated that coconut-based GAC (i.e. relatively higher water-soluble ash) had less adsorption capacity. Moreover, adsorption capacity of coal-based GAC with larger surface area and greater mesopore volume was superior to others.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation of physical properties and adsorption capacity after regeneration of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). It was found that the loss rate of regenerated carbon was related to the usage time of GAC. The correlations between iodide number and loss rate also determined. Effective size and uniformity coefficient for regenerated GAC were within a similar range compared to virgin GAC. This result indicated that the function as media is recovered. Although iodide number and specific surface area for regenerated GAC were not completely recovered compared to that of virgin GAC, cumulative pore volumes of regenerated GAC were increased. Removal efficiency of organic matter in regenerated GAC was resulted the same or slightly higher than that of virgin GAC. This result indicates that the number of mesopore responsible for removal of organic matter was increased after regeneration.

The objective of this study was to clarify the possibility of adsorption trichloroethylene (TCE) of pretreated granular activated carbon (GAC). The chemical solution used for the acidic treatment was phosphoric acid. In addition, the effect of ultrasound on GAC assessed in this experiments. It was observed that the adsorption of TCE were different based on pH value of pretreated GAC. However, natural water such as groundwater has various factors like ionic strength and hardness etc. Therefore, more laboratory work is needed to study about pretreated GAC.

본 실험은 농약 흡착제(adsorbent)로서 입상 활성탄(활성탄 I 및 활성탄 II) 및 차콜의 사용가능성을 알아보기 위하여 흡착질(adsorbate)로 현재 골프장에서 사용하고 있는 살충제인 스미치온(Fenitrothion)과 살균제인 호리쿠어(Tebuconazole)를 대상으로 하였다. 흡착실험에서는 스미치온 및 호리쿠어의 처리 농도별 흡착에 미치는 영향과 흡착제의 입자크기가 흡착에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 흡착실험에서는 흡착제의 입자 크기가 작을수록 높은 흡착율을 보였으며, 활성탄이 차콜에 비하여 상대적으로 높은 흡착율을 나타내었다. 그러나 스미치온의 탈착(desorption)에 관한 실험에서는 활성탄 및 차콜 모두 1200mm 이상의 강우량에서도 스미치온이 용탈되지 않았으므로, 차콜 또한 활성탄과 함께 골프장 농약 흡착제로서의 이용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
