本研究的目的是确定粉末活性炭（PAC）去除引起味道和气味的化合物geosmin和2-甲基异龙脑（MIB）最有效的条件。据观察，低至5 mg/L的PAC剂量可将这些有机物的常见浓度（高达20 mg/L）降至可接受水平。氯和一氯胺残留物似乎对PAC吸附土工蛋白和MIB有不利影响，背景腐殖酸的存在也有不利影响。过滤速率和接触时间对去除效率没有显著影响。包括15个参考文献、图表。

The purpose of this study was to determine the conditions under which removal of the taste- and odor-causing compounds geosmin and 2methylisoborneol (MIB) by powdered activated carbon (PAC) was most efficient. It was observed that a PAC dosage as low as 5 mg/L could reduce commonly occurring concentrations of these organics (up to 20 mg/L) to acceptable levels. Chlorine and monochloramine residuals appeared to have an adverse effect on the adsorption of geosmin and MIB by PAC, as did the presence of background humic acid. Filtration rate and contact time did not significantly affect removal efficiency. Includes 15 references, figures.
