The Rapid Small Scale Column Test (RSSCT) was developed to predict the adsorbtion of organic compounds in activated carbon adsorbers. In the RSSCT, a small column, which is loaded with an adsorbent ground to small practicle sizes, is used to simulate the performance of a pilot or full scale system. Due to the similarity of mass transfer processes and hydrodynamic characteristics between the small, pilot and full-scale columns, the breakthrough curves are expected to be similar. Due to its small size, the RSSCT requires a fraction of the time and water volume compared to pilot column testing. Recently the RSSCT has been used successfully in simulating the performance of metal-oxide based arsenic adsorbers. The adsorptive-filtration column was scaled down to mimic the performance of continuous flow, full and pilot scale arsenic treatment systems using the RSSCT approach. This paper investigates the application of the RSSCT method for assessing arsenic removal by unconventional adsorptive media such as waste materials.
