The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of adsorption at Granular Activated
Carbon (GAC) columns on the removal of selected Emerging Contaminants (ECs) from …

Human urine contains high concentration of pharmaceuticals, a concern that must be
addressed if used as a fertiliser. This study systematically evaluated granular activated …

Residual trace organic pollutants (TOPs) and associated biological effects from secondary
effluent (SE) are attracting much attention because of their safety concerns. Granular …

The occurrence of emerging contaminants in wastewaters, and their behaviour during
wastewater treatment and production of drinking water are key issues in the re-use of water …

This work investigated the adsorption of five model contaminants of emerging concern
(CECs) that are released daily in domestic effluents (caffeine, hydrochlorothiazide …

In this study, the performances of GAC adsorption and GAC bioadsorption in terms of
dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal were investigated with synthetic biologically …

Batch sorption experiments were performed to study the adsorption of six emerging
pollutants from aqueous solutions using a commercial granular activated carbon as …

This work aimed to assess the fixed-bed adsorptive performance of a primary paper mill
sludge-based granular activated carbon (PSA-PA) for the removal of pharmaceuticals …

Lab-scale GAC sandwich slow sand filters with different GAC layer depths were evaluated
for the first time to remove selected pharmaceutical and personal care products …

Granulated active carbon (GAC) is commonly used as a chemical barrier for the removal of
organic micropollutants (OMPs) in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). However, little …
