Development and evaluation of rapid image-based and turbidimetric methods for quantifying colloidal activated carbon in sandy media

Key Points

• Colloidal activated carbon quantification is effectively achieved using new methods, enhancing accuracy and speed.
• The evaluation shows that image-based methods yield high precision, reporting a quantification rate of up to 95%.
• Assessment involved both rapid image-based and turbidimetric techniques applied to sandy media samples.
• These findings indicate a significant improvement in environmental monitoring tools for water treatment processes.
