Mesoporous structure regulation of activated carbons and effects on the synergistic efficacy of synchronous adsorption and bio-degradation in biological activated carbon process

Mesoporous activated carbon MCGL-4 was tailored for simultaneous enhancement of adsorption and bio-degradation by multistage depth-activation (MDA). Synergistic efficacy of synchronous adsorption and bio-degradation was evaluated in pilot-scale bio-enhanced activated carbon (BEAC) system. Results id...
