Background. Activated carbon is a crude form of graphite that is produced by a carefully controlled oxidation p

27、rocess to develop a porous carbon structure with an internal surface area greater than 500 m 2 /g. This surface area gives the activated carbon the capacity to adsorb dissolved organic chemicals, many of which are taste- and odor-causing substances in water. The major raw materials used in the manuf

28、acture of powdered activated carbon (PAC) include, but are not limited to, peat, bituminous coal, coconut shells, wood, and lignite coal. During activation, the raw materials are either reacted at high tem- peratures in the presence of steam or at moderate temperatures in the presence of activation

29、chemicals. The activation process first drives off volatile components from the raw material, creating a fine porous structure, and then enlarges the pores, which creates the extensive internal pore structure required to obtain appreciable adsorption of organic chemicals. Subsequent processing may i

30、nclude crushing, screening, grading, and packaging. PAC is applied by mixing it with water to form a slurry that is metered into the water at a suitable point in the treatment process. The activated carbon, along with adsorbed contaminants, is removed by settling or filtration. I.A.1 Source of suppl

31、y. Activated carbon used for water treatment should be obtained from manufacturers that are regularly engaged in the production of activated carbon that is found to be satisfactory for service in the water treatment field. I.B. History. The first edition of ANSI/AWWA B600, Powdered Activated Carbon,

32、 was approved as tentative by the AWWA Board of Directors on July 11, 1949, and later as a standard on May 15, 1953. Subsequent revisions to ANSI/AWWA B600 were approved on Jan. 23, 1966, Jan. 28, 1978, June 17, 1990, Feb. 4, 1996, Jan. 16, 2005, and June 20, 2010. This seventh edition of B600 was a

This standard does not cover the design of activated carbon handling facilities or adsorption processes. Design information may be

35、found in the Journal - American Water Works Association and in other publications, some of which are listed in the bib- liography (appendix A) of this standard. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by

36、NSF International (NSF*) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environ

37、mental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states. Local agencies may

38、choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including 1. An advisory program formerly administered by USEPA, Office of D

39、rinking Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990. 2. Specific policies of the state or local agency. 3. Two standards developed under the direction of NSF: NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects. 4. Other references,

40、including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codex, and other standards considered appropriate by the state or local agency. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states or local agencies have author

41、ity to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. * NSF International, 789 North Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105. Persons outside the United States should contact the appropri

42、ate authority having jurisdiction. Both publications available from National Academy of Sciences, 500 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001. Copyright 2016 American Water Works Association.

43、late a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinog

44、ens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier. ANSI/AWWA B600 does not address additives requirements. Users of this stan- dard should consult the appropriate state or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, includin

45、g applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products for contact with, or treatment of, drinking water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. II. Special Issues. II.A. Storage and Handling Precautions. The following safety pre

46、cautions should be exercised to minimize or eliminate hazards when handling and storing PAC. Wet activated carbon will readily adsorb oxygen from the air, creating an acute oxygen- depletion hazard in confined areas. Appropriate safety measures for oxygen-deficient atmospheres should be strictly adh

47、ered to when entering enclosed or partially enclosed areas containing activated carbon. PAC should be stored in a building or compartment that is as fire-resistant as pos- sible. Bags of PAC should be stacked in rows with aisles between them so that each bag may be easily removed in case of fire. No

48、thing else should be stored in the same build- ing or compartment with activated carbon. Strict precautions must be taken to avoid PAC contacting strong oxidizing agents such as chlorine, sodium chlorite, hypochlo- rites, potassium permanganate, ozone, and peroxide. Mixing activated carbon with hydr

49、ocarbons (such as oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, grease, paint thinners, and so forth) may cause spontaneous combustion. Therefore, activated carbon must be kept separate from hydrocarbon storage or spills. In case of an activated carbon fire, the safest procedure, if possible, is to place the smoldering material in a metal container and remove it from the building. An activated carbon fire may also be smothered by means of a very fine spray or mist of water from a hose or by a foam-type chemical extinguisher. A direct stream of water should not be u
