La capacité du charbon actif à éliminer les pesticides par adsorption dépend de divers facteurs tels que la concentration, le pH, la compétition d'autres contaminants ou de matières organiques naturelles, le temps de contact et les propriétés physico-chimiques du pesticide. L'efficacité de la filtration sur charbon actif en grains (CAG) dépend également du temps de contact en fût vide (EBCT), du débit et de la durée du cycle de filtration.

Activated carbon adsorption has been widely used to reduce the concentration of pesticides in drinking water and is recognized by WHO as a suitable treatment technology for the removal of MCPA to levels below 0.1 µg/L (Robeck et al., 1965; Miltner et al., 1989; Foster et al., 1992; Duguet et al., 1994; WHO, 2004). The capacity of activated carbon to remove pesticides by adsorption is affected by a variety of factors, such as concentration, pH, competition from other contaminants or natural organic matter, contact time and the physicochemical properties of the pesticide. The effectiveness of granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration is also a function of the empty bed contact time (EBCT), flow rate and filter run time. The effectiveness of powdered activated carbon is also a function of the carbon dosage.
