Abstract

Examines the effect of metals that accumulate on GAC during water treatment and determines their fate during thermal regeneration of GAC. Also elucidates the relationships between the accumulation of metals, the effect on adsorption capacities and profiles, and the multiple thermal regeneration of GAC. Published in 1994.
