Optimizing the Removal of Geosmin and 2‐Methylisoborneol by Powdered Activated Carbon
The purpose of this study was to determine the conditions under which removal of the taste‐ and odor‐causing compounds geosmin and 2‐methylisoborneol (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 ng/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.
