Treatment Efficiency And Compressibility Behavior Of Soil Modified With Powdered Activated Carbon

Riverbank filtration (RBF) systems are often used to treat surface water near rivers. The effectiveness of such systems depends heavily on the properties of the riverbank material that is used for filtering and treating the water. To improve the system’s treatment efficiency, modifications may be co...
