Abstract: The adsorption‐diffusion rate of a humic acid and three molecular size fractions thereof by two particle size fractions of activated carbon was investigated over an extended time period. Long‐term removal of humic substances ...

Abstract: The removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by granular activated carbon (GAC) in a fixed‐bed adsorber was simulated using an approximate analytical solution and was found to agree satisfactorily with the performance ...

Abstract: Linear regression techniques were used to develop practical models to predict total organic carbon (TOC) breakthrough in bituminous granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorbers. Models were developed for two field-scale GAC sizes (

Abstract: External mass‐transfer coefficients are measured with organic compounds, p‐nitrophenol and 2,4‐dichlorophenol, under conditions representative of fixed‐bed activated‐carbon adsorption for water treatment. The superficial ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a modeling framework to assess the impact of drinking water distribution system water-age dynamics on population-weighted disinfection by-product (DBP) risks. This approach was ...

Abstract: A novel powdered ash-treated pine biochar (PATB) was compared to powdered activated carbon (PAC) for the removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and organic micropollutants (OMPs) from deionized water (DI), raw surface ...

Abstract: To better plan for potential changes to stream water quality under climate change, an integrated approach to simulate paired streamflow and water quality under a range of climate scenarios is developed. Several stochastic ...

Abstract: Though new water supply source development has always required planning under many forms of uncertainty, climate change presents an added dimension that may exacerbate supply and water quality challenges. Hence, new ...
