Assessment of GAC Adsorption for Radon Removal

Abstract

Reports on the design and operational criteria for radon removal from groundwater systems by GAC adsorption. Addresses the capacity and empty bed contact time of GAC for radon removal, the radioactive build-up on the GAC affecting disposal and worker safety issues, and overall system design. Published in 1999.
