Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for the destruction of contaminants adsorbed from contaminated water by activated carbon are contemplated. Following adsorption of contaminants onto micron-sized activated carbon particles, the micron-sized activated carbon particles are contained within a reactor. A destructive process is then initiated within the regeneration reaction in order to destroy contaminant adsorbed to the micron-sized activated carbon particles contained within the reactor, which results in the destruction of the contaminants adsorbed to the micron-sized activated carbon particles and thus the regeneration of the micron-sized activated carbon particles for subsequent re-use in remediation of contaminated water.
