Abstract
Six silicate minerals were investigated in batch study and one in a continuous flow column study for their ability to adsorb polio-virus I. From 64.2 × 10 4 to 89.5 × 10 4 PFU of the polio-viruses were adsorbed per mg of silicate mineral with differences shown for the various minerals. Extraneous organic matter competed for adsorption sites and also desorbed the virus. Under groundwater flow conditions the virus broke through the column earlier when the virus was adsorbed from a secondary effluent than when it was adsorbed from a clean water.
