Abstract This study examined the loading distribution of trihalomethanes and total organic carbon within pilot scale granular activated carbon (GAC) contactors receiving finished drinking water and operating in the downflow mode. Three carbons originating from different sources were used for this comparison. Observed column loadings were compared to isotherms. As well, loadings were evaluated as a function of carbon particle size. Significantly higher loadings of trihalomethanes were found in the upper 10 cm (7%) of the GAC beds. Enhanced adsorption in this region was correlated with finer size carbon particles. Isotherms successfully predicted full bed depth trihalomethane loadings for two of the carbons but underestimated loadings in the top 10 cm. A replacement of the top 30 cm of the carbon in one of the beds resulted in a noticeable capacity increase for trihalomethanes.

TrikotAC filter aids is a combination of a pre-coating material PreKot™ with two adsorbents; activated carbon and lime and their characteristics were investigated in this study. TrikotAC was formulated into three different weight ratios of 5:1:94, 10:1:89 and 10:5:85, respectively. The relationship between adsorption properties and characteristics of the formulated materials particle size distribution, particle density, bulk density, and BET surface area were investigated. The results showed that the adsorption capacity for TrikotAC 10:5:85 (11.88 mg/g) was higher than for the other formulated filter aids samples, and the formulated filter aids material TrikotAC showed promising characteristic as a filter aids and adsorbent for organic compound in fabric filtration system.
