Activated carbon adsorption has been observed as instrumental in maintaining environmental conditions conducive to biological conversion of coal-gasification wastewater. The relationship between adsorption and biodegradation was studied in a series of reactors and in a singular reactor to which fresh carbon was added periodically. The potential for improved biological conversion of the relatively refractory wastewater has been demonstrated and preliminary data have been extended to suggest design and operational strategies. 10 references, 9 figures, 8 tables.
