Abstract
Bromate in drinking water, at a level of microgrammes/litre, is a prob lem in ozonated waters but can be adsorbed, to a certain extent, by gr anular activated carbon. The adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon for bromate is significantly lowered when there are high conce ntrations of other anions, most notably chloride and sulphate, present in the water.
