Abstract
Evaluates adsorption in conjunction with advanced oxidation to remove and destroy organic contaminants. Includes laboratory studies to determine the regeneration efficiency of GAC by ozone activated with ultraviolet irradiation and of GAC and a silica gel adsorbent impregnated with a photocatalyst and subjected to sunlight or a low intensity artificial light. Also describes pilot tests of the most promising techniques on a contaminated groundwater to determine the technical feasibility and estimate cost. Completed in 1996. (Out of print)
