The utilization of granular carbon filtration is a relatively simple and economical procedure. It is possible to adopt existing plant filters for a combination filtration‐adsorption unit process with minimum alteration, by filling them with granular carbon. This article summarizes carbon bed design criteria for the filtration‐adsorption technique as well as for adsorption alone.
