CONT

L'utilisation du charbon granulé est possible après floculation chimique-décantation (et filtration) sans épuration biologique préliminaire, mais la vitesse d'épuisement du charbon est assez rapide et l'exploitation coûteuse.

OBS

L'économie d'un traitement sur charbon actif est essentiellement fonction de la capacité utile du charbon, exprimée en g de DCO fixée par kg de charbon actif, qui caractérise la «consommation de charbon» pour obtenir un effet déterminé.
