Abstract
Determines optimal cost-effectiveness of PAC for trace organics control by identifying (1) water quality problems for which PAC is best suited and (2) promising PAC applications. Also analyzes current applications, determines effects of coagulants and polyelectrolytes on adsorption kinetics and equilibrium capacity of PAC, investigates efficiency of PAC adsorption of SOCs and TOC in a laboratory floc blanket reactor, and reports on field testing of the reactor. Published in 1991. (Still available to Foundation subscribers as Order 90581.)
