Abstract
Develops a fundamental understanding of the effects of activated carbon surface chemistry and pore structure on the adsorption of organic micropollutants in the presence of natural organic matter. Elucidates mechanisms by which NOM reduces adsorption of micropollutants onto activated carbon. Also determines activated carbon characteristics that minimize the adverse impacts of NOM on micropollutant adsorption. Published in 2003.
