The paper presents the results of studies on the use of adsorptive properties of selected powdered activated carbons (Norit SA Super and Carbopol MB5) for removal of ibuprofen from water. The tests were performed on non-flow conditions, series depending on the type and dose of powdered adsorbents. The research was carried out on a model solution of ibuprofen at initial concentration C0 = 20 mg/dm3, at 20 °C. Froundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms were used. Lagergrene kinetic models (PFO) and Ho (PSO) were used to describe adsorption kinetics. Both carbons exhibited a higher affinity for the adsorbent at pH above 7. Norit SA Super was a better adsorbent, for which, the highest adsorption capacity q = 0.448 g/g was achieved with dose D = 35 mg/dm3. The effectiveness of adsorption (decrease of ibuprofen in water) was 78%. The total removal of ibuprofen was obtained for a dose of carbon D = 200 mg/ dm3. With respect to Carbopol, the highest adsorption capacity (q = 0.353 g/g) was achieved at a dose of 30 mg/dm3, resulting in a 53% efficiency. Studies have shown that both tested powdered activated carbons have contributed to effective cleaning of aqueous solutions containing ibuprofen.

Various factors influencing adsorption on powdered activated carbon (PAC) used for the removal of organic compounds from water and wastewater have been investigated. Incomplete utilization of adsorption capacity of PAC observed in current technological applications is caused by too short con-tact times of aqueous solutions with carbon particles and the system configuration (adsorption in volume systems with simultaneous coagulation). A new method has been proposed involving application of PAC into the upper layer of a two-layer filter or a middle layer of a three-layer filter during bed fluidization. The extended contact time between aqueous solutions and PAC increases the amount of adsorbate adsorbed on the surface of activated carbon. A comparative studies conducted on adsorption in both volume and column systems confirmed better utilization of adsorption capacity for PAC applied on a filter bed. Two models of PAC adsorption in transient conditions were developed for volume and column systems. Computer simulations confirmed that the adsorption capacity of PAC may be in-creased by several times in column systems with respect to the commonly used adsorption with coagulation in volume systems.

The article presents research results of the introduction of powdery activated carbon to the existing technological system of the groundwater treatment stations in a laboratory, pilot plant and technical scale. The aim of the research was to reduce the content of organic compounds found in the treated water, which create toxic organic chlorine compounds (THM) after disinfection with chlorine. Nine types of powdery active carbons were tested in laboratory scale. The top two were selected for further study. Pilot plant scale research was carried out for the filter model using CWZ-30 and Norit Sa Super carbon. Reduction of the organic matter in relation to the existing content in the treated water reached about 30%. Research in technical scale using CWZ-30 carbon showed a lesser efficiency with respect to laboratory and pilot-plant scale studies. The organic matter decreased by 15%. Since filtration is the last process before the individual disinfection, an alternative solution is proposed, i.e. the second stage of filtration with a granular activated carbon bed, operating in combined sorption and biodegradation processes. The results of tests carried out in pilot scale were fully satisfactory with the effectiveness of 70–100%.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań w skali laboratoryjnej, półtechnicznej i technicznej nad wprowadzeniem do istniejącego układu technologicznego stacji uzdatniania wody podziemnej, pylistego węgla aktywnego. Celem badań było obniżenie zawartości występujących w wodzie uzdatnionej związków organicznych, które po procesie dezynfekcji chlorem tworzą toksyczne związki chloroorganiczne (THM). W skali laboratoryjnej przebadano 9 rodzajów pylistych węgli aktywnych, z których dwa najlepsze wytypowano do dalszych badań. Badania w skali półtechnicznej realizowano na filtrze modelowym z zastosowaniem węgli: CWZ-30 i Norit Sa Super. Obniżenie materii organicznej w stosunku do jej dotychczasowej zawartości w wodzie uzdatnionej wynosiło ok.30%. Badania w skali technicznej z zastosowaniem węgla CWZ-30 wykazały nieco mniejszą skuteczność w odniesieniu do badań laboratoryjnych i badań w skali półtechnicznej. Obniżenie zawartości materii organicznej wyniosło ok. 15%. Ponieważ ostatnim procesem jednostkowym przed dezynfekcją jest filtracja, zaproponowano alternatywne rozwiązanie – drugi stopień filtracji ze złożem granulowanego węgla aktywnego, pracującego w połączonych procesach sorpcji i biodegradacji. Rezultaty badań zrealizowanych w skali półtechnicznej były w pełni zadowalające – skuteczność 70–100%.
