This course discusses waste treatment using, primarily, activated carbon. Both liquid and vapor phase adsorption are discussed. Adsorption technologies may be applicable to treatment of both sanitary and industrial waste streams. Course Outline 1. CARBON ADSORPTION 2. REGENERATION, REACTIVATION, AND DISPOSAL OF SPENT ACTIVATED CARBON 3. NON-CARBON ADSORPTION This is an introduction to the design of processes employing adsorption technologies such as those using activated carbon.
