AB  - The objectives of this study are to obtain the time courses of the amount of 
      chlorophenol adsorbed onto granular activated carbon (GAC) in the simultaneous 
      adsorption and biodegradation processes involving 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 
      2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), respectively, and to quantify the bioregeneration 
      efficiency of GAC loaded with 4-CP and 2,4-DCP by direct measurement of the 
      amount of chlorophenol adsorbed onto GAC. Under abiotic and biotic conditions, 
      the time courses of the amount of chlorophenol adsorbed onto GAC at various GAC 
      dosages for the initial 4-CP and 2,4-DCP concentrations below and above the 
      biomass acclimated concentrations of 300 and 150 mg/L, respectively, were 
      determined. The results show that the highest bioregeneration efficiency was 
      achieved provided that the initial adsorbate concentration was lower than the 
      acclimated concentration. When the initial adsorbate concentration was higher 
      than the acclimated concentration, the highest bioregeneration efficiency was 
      achieved if excess adsorbent was used.
