Activated carbon is the prevailing technical adsorbent for the purification of water. Its usual regeneration by heating or steaming consumes considerable energy and is frequently performed ex situ . It is possible to control adsorption and desorption of organic molecules on granular activated carbon by means of an electric potential.
