Bioregeneration of spent activated carbon: Review of key factors and recent mathematical models of kinetics

The disposal of spent activated carbon (AC) will inevitably create secondary pollution. In overcoming this problem, the spent AC can be regenerated by means of biological approach. Bioregeneration is the phenomenon in which through the action of microorganisms, the adsorbed pollutants on the surface...
