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 fr om 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 fr om the fluid media.
