“…Therefore, it is necessary to limit the amount of chemical substances that are released into the environment to as little as possible, and also to recover them as fully as possible. To remove these compounds from chemical and industrial wastewater, adsorption on activated carbon, [1][2][3][4] photochemical decomposition by ultraviolet irradiation [5][6][7][8][9][10] and aeration have usually been used. One problem with the use of activated carbon is cost.…”

Defatted seeds effectively adsorbed organochlorine compounds such as chloroform, dichloromethane and trichloroethylene. The amounts of these compounds adsorbed was plotted against the equilibrium concentration of substances in solution on a logarithmic scale. A linear relationship was obtained, indicating that the adsorption reactions were Freundlich type. The adsorption of these compounds by defatted seed was observed over the range of pH 1-11. Chloroform was successfully removed from tap water with an average removal efficiency of 70% after 60 min when rapeseed was added to tap water that contained 0.0073 mg/l chloroform. The removal of these organochlorine compounds by defatted seed was attributed to the uptake by intracellular particles called spherosomes.

This article reports on a one year study of modifications to standard water treatment processes conducted at West Plant, Erie, Pennsylvania. During each of the four seasons of the year, a series of filtration runs were conducted with small dual‐media filters at various filtration rates. The objective was to check the influence of the elimination of flocculators and sedimentation basins on effluent quality and length of run.

“…The important role that activated carbons play in the air flow hoods used in laboratories where radioisotopes are manipulated in order to hold volatile atoms, such as the 131 I, as well the capacity of these carbons to bond substances contained in a solution (biocides, pesticides, chlorides, and so on) is well documented (Abramns et al, 1986;Hager and Flentje, 1965;Hayes, 1966;Joyce and Sukenik, 1964;Li et al, 2006;Namane and Hellal, 2006;Sabio et al, 2006).…”

a b s t r a c tActivated carbon filters play an important role in water filtration and purification from contaminants of different origin. Their limit consists in bacterial proliferation, which may occur only during prolonged periods of non-use and in their ability to remove radioactive contaminants present in waste water from Industry or Nuclear Medicine departments.In this work we tested a commercially available activated carbon filter for water purification enriched with silver plated parts incubating in static condition at room temperature different micro organisms (Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillum niger), up to 78 days.The microbial growth was in general more inhibited in the presence of metal silver into the activated carbon in respect to filters with the activated carbon alone: >4 log inhibition of bacterial proliferation after 78 days of incubation the presence of silver vs. 2 log without silver. When the filters were incubated empty of carbon, the sterilizing power of silver was confirmed further.The activated carbon filters proved also their ability in removing from water the principal radioisotopes used for residues liquid medical and research purposes ( 131 I, 99m Tc, 201 Tl, 67 Ga).These results contribute useful data for the use of the silver-enriched carbon filters in water filtration both for daily use at home, and professional use in a Nuclear Medicine laboratory.
