Water treatment efficiency using granular activated carbon
Poděbradská, Tereza ; Biela, Renata (referee) ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the use of activated carbon in drinking water treatment, especially in removing pesticide substances. The thesis consists of two parts – a theoretical one and a practical one. In the theoretical part, the issue of activated carbon as a material is analysed, including its most important characteristics for the utilization in the waterworks industry. Furthermore, the adsorption process is described, and the characterization of pesticide substances is carried out, as well as the way they get into water and the possible means of their removal. The practical part describes the laboratory experiment performed to draw a comparison between the efficiency of four different types of activated carbon on removing the relevant metabolite Acetochlor ESA from a water sample.
