Abstract

Abstract : The U.S. Army currently uses granular activated carbon (GAC) at Army Ammunition Plants (AAPs) to remove nitrobodies from pink water prior to discharge. The AAPs operate at low production rates and are meeting established effluent limits. However, production rates may increase drastically at full mobilization and future effluent limits may be more strict. In response to Army needs, an information search/survey was performed to determine operating characteristics of GAC columns for reduction of effluent nitrobody concentrations from pink water. Data were obtained and reported on GAC pollutant removal capacity; competitive adsorption, feasibility to achieve stringent effluent limitations; research required to fill information gaps; and commercial GAC availability.
