Adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) on granular activated carbon in the treatment of drinking water
Le Duc, Duy ; Mega, Jaroslav (referee) ; Dolejš, Petr (advisor)
In the first part of this thesis the methodic of lab trial was studied, which will be useful for studying adsorption of natural organic matter by activated carbon. As an optimal method of testing adsorption characters jar testing was chosen. Again as an indicator of organic contamination, it was decided to use permanganate chemical oxygen demand (in Czech CHSKMn) will be used. In the second part of this thesis the adsorption characters of eight types of granular activated carbon were studied. Those granular activated carbon came from two world produces, from company NORIT five type of granular activated carbon were tested: NORIT GAC 1020, NORIT PK 1-3, NORIT GAC 1240, NORIT ROW 0.8 SUPRA a TOD NORIT ROX 0.8 and from company Chemviron Carbon three types of granular activated carbon were tested: F100 FE11120A, F400 FE11210A a TL830 FE2028B. Batch kinetic tests of natural organic matter adsorption were conducted with all types of granular activated carbon at first. For description of sorption not only the batch kinetic tests and duration needed for setting equilibrium were observed, but also the process decreasing of concentration of natural organic matters to the value of equilibrium concentration known as adsorption equilibrium was followed.

Adsorption of organic compounds onto activated carbon in water treatment process
Kopecká, Ivana
The dissertation thesis focuses on the application of activated carbon for the removal of low molecular weight algal organic matter (AOM) produced by phytoplankton during drinking water treatment, as well as on the effect of AOM on adsorption of anthropogenic micropollutants contained in raw water. The results of this study have been published in international peer-reviewed journals in 4 papers and in 2 conference contributions. The efficiency of AOM removal was studied in laboratory equilibrium and kinetic experiments using different types of granular activated carbon and cellular peptides with molecular weight < 10 kDa produced by cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. It has been previously confirmed that these peptides are removed with difficulty during the conventional water treatment based on coagulation/flocculation processes and therefore, other methods need to be applied for their restriction. The effect of solution properties on peptide adsorption was assessed by the tests at different pH values and at variable ionic strengths. The negative impact of peptides on the adsorption of organic micropollutants present in raw water was simulated using competitive adsorption experiments with herbicides alachlor and...

Thermodynamics of adsorption of natural organic matter onto activated carbon
Hirsch, Karel ; Pivokonský, Martin (advisor) ; Čermáková, Lenka (referee)
The presence of natural organic matter (NOM) in water resources can significantly affect the organoleptic properties of water, inhibit the processes of drinking water treatment and may be harmful to organisms and to human health. That is why the drinking water treatment process is therefore emphasizes the elimination of natural organic matter by the best available techniques. To remove NOM is currently proving to be the most effective adsorption process on the activited carbon (AC). The process of adsorption of natural substances on activated carbon affects many factors. Important factors affecting adsorption are the solution properties such as pH, ionic strength (IS), chemical composition and temperature of the solution. Due to different water temperatures, depending on the season, the temperature can significantly affect the process of NOM adsorption on activated carbon in drinking water treatment. The authors in their works devoted primarily to the effect of pH on adsorption and in the literature is shown little information on the effect of water temperature on the adsorption of natural organic matter. This thesis deals with thermodynamics of adsorption of natural organic matter to activated carbon. Bachelor's thesis in the form of research describes the basic properties of thermodynamics of...
