There are numerous problems with the use of activated carbon. I am presently
fighting a carbon regeneration facility in Pennsylvania.
1.Metals are not all trapped by activated carbon.
2. Please advise as to exactly what method is being proposed in the carbon
process.
3. Activated carbon being used in cement kilns is an accident waiting to
happen.
4. Carbon regeneration is as close to incineration as you can get. It also
creates even more waste. There is motive water, scrubber water, fly ash, and
scrubber sludge. I would only add that if carbon regeneration is being
utilized, you will be creating more waste than you probably started with.
