Groundwater quality especially in urban areas is constantly abused by contamination from industrial and agricultural land use, leaching of landfills, spillages and leakage of underground storage tanks. Both GAC and PAC are used in remediation of these affected groundwaters. They are directly or indirectly employed in dewatering, direct pump and treat filter systems, soil stabilization, etc. to remove a variety of contaminants such as COD & BOD, VOCs, aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, perflourinated compounds (PFCs, PFOAs and PFOs), perchlorates, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, methyl tertiary-butyl ethers (MTBEs), trihalomethanes (THMs), trichloroethylenes (TCEs), tetrachloroethylenes, and colour compounds.
