REMOVAL OF CHLORAMINES FROM DRINKING WATER WITH IMPROVED ACTIVATED CARBON

摘要

This application discloses a method for enhanced removal of chloramines from afluid media by contacting said media with a catalytic activated carbon. Thecatalytic activated carbons used in the present invention may be prepared fromcarbon materials that have been contacted or otherwise exposed to nitrogen-containing compounds at temperatures above 700~C, and preferably are derivedfrom a lignocellulosic material and in the form of a solid carbon block.Future, the invention method achieves greater than 65% chloramine removal fromthe fluid media.
