The granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption of methyl-isoborneol (MIB) and geosmin was
evaluated using the rapid small-scale column test (RSSCT) and equilibrium isotherms.
Increasing GAC age and influent total organic carbon (TOC) concentration negatively impacted
the GAC adsorption capacity. Influent disinfection byproducts and residual chlorine were found
to have no and little measurable impact, respectively. When normalized to bed volumes, the
impact of empty bed contact time was only a concern at short times. When expressed as
fractional or normalized effluent concentration, the impact of different influent MIB
concentrations was not found. Includes 2 references, tables, figures.
