本研究的主要目的是评估快速小型柱试验（RSSCT）在预测颗粒活性炭（GAC）对消毒副产物（DBP）形成的控制中的应用。通过使用模拟分配系统（SDS）测试和测量实验室和现场规模色谱柱的进水和出水中的三卤甲烷和总有机卤化物来评估DBP的形成。据观察，对于所研究的水，RSSCTs有效地预测了DBP形成的不可吸附部分、50%穿透时间和穿透曲线形状。 RSSCTs的优点是，关于GAC是否适合DBP控制的结论可以在短时间内得出，而不是在长期试点研究结束时得出。作者建议对一系列水源水进行类似的研究，因为GAC的有效性是特定于现场的。包括13个参考文献、表格、图表。

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the rapid small-scale column test (RSSCT) for predicting the control of disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation by granular activated carbon (GAC). DBP formation was assessed by using a simulated distribution system (SDS) test and measuring trihalomethanes and total organic halide in the influent and effluent of the laboratory- and field-scale columns. It was observed that for the water studied, the RSSCTs effectively predicted the nonadsorbable fraction, time to 50 percent breakthrough, and the shape of the breakthrough curve for DBP formation. The advantage of RSSCTs is that conclusions about the amenability of a GAC for DBP control can be reached in a short time period instead of at the end of a long-term pilot study. The authors recommend that similar studies be conducted with a range of source waters because the effectiveness of GAC is site-specific. Includes 13 references, tables, figures.
