Simple Method of Removing Chloroform and Carbon Tetrachloride from Laboratory Wastewater

The efficiency of removing chloroform and carbon tetrachloride from chemical wastewater by a water treatment plant using activated carbon adsorption and coagulation precipitation processes was investigated. The results showed that the treatment removed the two compounds with a respective average efficiency of 82.3% and 84.7%. Both coagulation precipitation and activated carbon adsorption processes showed effective removal results.
