How to Select the Best Activated Carbon Adsorption Systems for Your Application - Workshop, 1 CEP
This noncommercial presentation will discuss how carbons are made and impregnated, when an impregnated carbon should be used, chemical and physical sorption, emerging new applications, and multimedia adsorption systems and pretreatment. Also included will be a discussion of ASTM and advanced test methods that can be used in determining which carbon is best for a given application and how to monitor performance. Small scale accelerated column tests, pilot-scale that leads to commerical size adsorption systems, performance monitoring, and when to change out the activated carbon will also be addressed. Some case studies will be provided to demonstrate real-world problem-solving.
