Removal of Triclocarban (TCC) and Diethyl Phthalate (DEP) from Greywater by Adsorption onto Activated Carbon
Abstract
This Thesis is based on the findings from my specialization project, where an investigation of priority micropollutants in greywater from PCPs was conducted (Skår, 2013). The objective of the Master Thesis was to select two or three compounds from the list of priority compounds that was suitable for analyzing and monitoring in a greywater recycling scheme, and investigate the removal of those compounds with adsorption onto activated carbon. This was done by performing kinetic and isotherms study in greywater and pure water. An analytical method for detection and quantification in greywater had to be developed for the chosen compounds.
