DBP Precursor and Micropollutant Removal by Powdered Activated Carbon

Abstract

This project evaluated the effects of powdered activated carbon (PAC) particle size on DBP precursor and micropollutant removal, and identified physical and chemical sub-micrometer PAC(S-PAC) characteristics that yield effective DBP precursor and micropollutant removal. Published in 2013.
