本文概述了一种能够预测粉末活性炭去除天然水中痕量有机化合物性能的程序。只有简单的实验室实验和一些计算机建模才能确定PAC治疗的可行性。特别强调了如何有效地描述天然水体中痕量有机物的吸附平衡，并开发了一个搜索程序来模拟背景有机物的竞争效应。

In this paper, a procedure has been outlined that is able to predict the performance of powdered activated carbon for removal of trace organic compounds from natural waters. Only simple laboratory experiments and some computer modeling are required to determine the feasibility of PAC treatment. Special emphasis was given to effectively describe adsorption equilibria of trace organic compounds in natural waters, and a search routine was developed to model the competitive effect of background organic matter.
