Abstract Adsorption of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) by granular activated carbon (GAC) was evaluated in bench‐, pilot‐, and full‐scale studies to determine effects PFAA characteristics background organic matter on use rates. Rapid small‐scale column tests (RSSCTs) were conducted according the proportional diffusivity (PD) design assess their suitability predict full‐ or pilot‐scale GAC performa...

The adsorption of the fungicide Carbendazim (CBZ) on granular activated carbon (GAC) coconut shell was investigated through batch tests in deionized water. most favorable conditions for CBZ were examined variation mass GAC, temperature, and contact time. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) applied, seeking best condition to optimize future tests. A thermodynamic analysis carried out using Van't ...
