进行了平衡研究，使用闭环汽提分析和实验方法，评估活性炭去除五种特定味道和气味产生的有机化合物的性能，这些化合物在供水中的含量为纳克/升。结果表明，粉末活性炭（PAC）和颗粒活性炭（GAC）对2-甲基异龙脑（MIB）的去除效果更好。尽管氯和混凝剂对PAC对有机物的吸附没有不利影响，但GAC对土工蛋白和MIB的去除似乎受到背景有机化合物（如腐殖酸物质）的不利影响。观察到所使用的混合技术在吸附过程中发挥了重要作用。包括12个参考文献、表格和图表。

Equilibrium studies were conducted that used closed-loop stripping analysis in conjunction with experimental methodologies to evaluate the performance of activated carbons for removing five specific tasteand odor-producing organic compounds that occur at the nanograms-perliter level in water supplies. Both powdered activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) proved to be more effective for removing 2-methylisoborneol (MIB). Although chlorine and coagulants had no detrimental effect on the adsorption of organics by PAC, the removal of geosmin and MIB by GAC appeared to be adversely affected by background organic compounds, such as humic substances. The mixing technique used was observed to play a significant role in adsorption. Includes 12 references, tables, figures.
