就地化学再生可以大大降低目前与颗粒活性炭使用相关的许多成本。再生将发生在吸附柱中，因此搬运和运输要求将降至最低。由于化学储存设施和给水泵将取代传统的热再生设施，热再生产生的碳损失将被消除，资本成本将降低。本文的结论是，不同类型的GAC与H202的反应速率范围很广。铁含量和表面积似乎是碳催化H202分解形成羟基自由基的能力的重要特征。柱试验表明，使用H202对GAC进行就地化学再生可能适用于某些类型的GAC，但是，需要进行额外的研究，以评估该工艺的可行性。

In-place chemical regeneration could considerably reduce many costs currently associated with granular activated carbon use. Regeneration would occur in the adsorption column, and thus handling and transport requirements would be minimized. Carbon losses due to thermal regeneration would be eliminated, and capital cost would be reduced as chemical storage facilities and feed pumps would replace traditional thermal regeneration facilities. This paper concludes that different types of GAC can exhibit a wide range of reaction rates with H202. The iron content and the surface area appear to be important characteristics relating to a carbon's ability to catalyze the decomposition of H202 to form hydroxyl radicals. Column test indicated that in-place chemical regeneration of GAC using H202 may be possible with certain types of GAC, however, additional research is needed to evaluate the feasibility of the process.
