- Abstract
The article discusses a study which examined the use of microwave energy technology to treat granular activated carbon (GAC) which was contaminated with chlorobenzene. GAC is a dielectric material which excellently absorbs microwave energy and then transforms it to thermal energy. The heat generated by the microwave energy is used to decompose the chlorobenzene in the GAC. The study found that after five repetitive uses, the dielectric losses of the GAC declined from 29.8 to 19.4. The removal rate for chlorobenzene also decreased from 100 to 91 percent.
