Abstract:
1. A method for removing liquid, gaseous and/or dissolved constituents from an aqueous stream, the method comprising: providing a single column structure comprising first directing the aqueous stream into the single column and into the first bed and extracting a first set of constituents from the aqueous stream; thereafter directing the aqueous stream into the second bed and adsorbing a second set of constituents chosen from the group consisting of phenol, dichloromethane, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether by contacting the aqueous stream with adsorbent material; and regenerating the porous material saturated with constituents extracted from the aqueous stream, wherein the regeneration is performed such that the constituents that emerge from the first bed of porous material do not come into contact with the second bed of adsorbent.
