Zusammenfassung:The authors review published information on the mechanism by which powdered activated carbon (PAC) improves the performance of the activated-sludge process; a bibliography of 47 references is appended. There appears to be a certain degree of synergism; this may be due to stimulation of biological activity by PAC , and/or to bioregeneration (the renewal of the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon through the action of micro-organisms).
