Removal of Radon from Water Using Granular Activated Carbon Adsorption

摘要

A concise summary is presented of the current knowledge on radon removal using granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment. The technical information is based upon laboratory and field research and it is presented in a question-and-answer format. Other pertinent topics discussed and explained include: (1) type of GAC to use, (2) required capacity of GAC unit, (3) shielding considerations for GAC units, (4) effective life of a bed, (5) backwash requirements for GAC units, and (6) cost of GAC treatment.
