Activated Carbon
Benefits
Effective removal of a large
range of organic substances (even
of low molecular weight) by non
specific binding (Van der Waals
forces) or chlorine reduction
Large capacity due to high
developed surface
Limitations
Very little effect on other
contaminants (except some
particulates removed by depth
filtration)
Once all active sites are
occupied, an equilibrium is
established and organics are
released.
Bacteria may develop after
several months.
Efficiency depending on flow rate
