REMOVAL OF CHLORAMINES FROM DRINKING WATER WITH IMPROVED ACTIVATED CARBON.

摘要

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