HIGHLIGHTS 18  BET surface and bulk density of activated carbons are correlated to micropollutants adsorption, 19  The activated carbon dose and the contact time have a great influence on adsorption, 20  FeCl3 has a positive influence on micropollutants adsorption by activated carbon (+10-15%), 21  Both the quantity and composition of organic matter impact the adsorption, 22  UV-254 removals are correlated to several micropollutants removals. 23 24 A Present adress: SIAAP, Direction du Développement et de la Prospective,
