- the regeneration solution can be removed from the regeneration reactor, for example by drainage, then the adsorbent media is maintained in the regeneration reactor.
- this draining step makes it possible to further improve the regeneration process, in particular this step allows the regeneration solution still present within the adsorbent medium to continue to regenerate the adsorbent medium.
- this small part of the regeneration solution can be kept in the regeneration reactor.
- the regeneration method according to the invention further comprises a step of electrochemical regeneration of the adsorbent medium carried out before or after the chemical regeneration step.

- the adsorbent medium typically exhibits a certain reduction in these adsorption capacities due to its use as an adsorbent of pollutants. This decrease in capacity is generally approached by the notion of productivity, itself assimilated to the age of the sample.
- the age of the sample, assimilated to its productivity can thus be counted in bed volume treated (or “bed volume treated” in English, more commonly referred to as “bed volume”, abbreviated respectively as BVT and BV).
- the treated bed volume corresponds to the volume of fluid treated, more particularly water, by the adsorbent relative to the volume of the adsorbent.
- the quality of the adsorbent media is monitored in order to determine the age of the adsorbent media which can be defined by the actual abatement rate of pollutant and/or by the volume of treated bed and/or or by the iodine value.

- This measurement of the pollutant reduction can in particular be carried out directly by comparing the concentrations of pollutants upstream and downstream of a treatment of a fluid using a sample of adsorbent extracted.
- the reduction in pollutants can also be measured indirectly, by measuring a level of pollutants using, for example, a method for measuring the iodine number or even by chromatography, mass spectrometry or spectroscopy. fluorescence (in particular by HPLC, HPLC-HR or HPLC-HR & MS). This level of pollutants thus determined can then be correlated with an actual concentration of pollutants, for example using predetermined charts in particular for each pollutant.
- a real reduction in at least one pollutant ranging from 40 to 80% means that at the time t considered, 40 to 80% in concentration of said pollutant is adsorbed by the adsorbent medium having the quality of the moment t.
- the regeneration method according to the invention can thus comprise a step of measuring the (real) age of the adsorbent medium in the adsorption reactor and the duration before the next regeneration can be determined according to a target age to be reached. for said adsorption reactor.
- the reduction in pollutants of the rejuvenated extracted adsorbent is qualified as “actual reduction in pollutants”.
- the abatement is qualified as real in that it is determined on the basis of a sample of the adsorbent actually used in the treatment process.
- the measurements of pollutant reductions in the adsorbent medium are implemented by short-bed adsorption tests.
- Short bed adsorption corresponds to the English expression Short Bed Adsorber, abbreviated as SBA.
- the frequency of the regeneration will then be set according to the reduction rate in at least one target pollutant.
- Regeneration can then be triggered as soon as the actual reduction rate of at least one target pollutant is 40 to 80%, preferably 50 to 70%.
- the target pollutant is chosen from organic matter and micropollutants.
- the target micropollutant is chosen from atrazine and atrazine derivatives (such as deisopropylatrazine, hydroxyatrazine, desethylatrazine), metolachlor, metolachlor OXA, metolachlor ESA, metazachlor OXA, chlortoluron, diuron , metaldehyde.
- the actual abatement of at least one pollutant is determined by measurement and monitoring of at least one pollutant present in the fluid at the inlet of the adsorbent medium and measurement and monitoring of at least a pollutant present in the fluid at the outlet of the adsorbent medium.
- the pollutant(s) monitored can be chosen from pesticides, metabolites, solvents, industrial residues, and combinations thereof.
- the document US2019383779 describes a process for processing and monitoring pollutants online.
- Regular analyses for example by liquid or gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, on the fluid at the inlet and on the fluid at the outlet can be implemented in order to compare the evolution of the content of at least one polluting.
- the difference in concentration of at least one pollutant in the fluid at the inlet and in the fluid at the outlet thus makes it possible to quantify a real reduction in the pollutant(s) monitored.
- the actual reduction in at least one pollutant can be quantified by monitoring a pilot unit (adsorption filtration column with the same adsorbent media as the industrial unit) supplied in parallel with the industrial unit, set up and dedicated specifically to monitoring the difference in fluid quality between the inlet and the outlet of this pilot bed and/or the quality of the media in this pilot bed.
- a pilot unit adsorption filtration column with the same adsorbent media as the industrial unit
- the age of the adsorbent media can be determined from the theoretical adsorption capacities for a treated bed volume.
- the target age ranges from 20,000 to 100,000 BVT, preferably from 30,000 to 75,000 BVT, more preferably from 40,000 to 60,000 BVT. It will be necessary to reset the BVT at the end of each implementation of the regeneration method according to the invention.

For example, for a new adsorbent, the iodine value can be greater than 950 or 1000 mg/g (as for the preferred activated carbon). Conversely, for a used adsorbent, the iodine number can be less than or equal to 500 mg/g.

- Example 1 Treatment process according to the invention
- FIG. 1 is non-limiting and illustrates one embodiment of a treatment method according to the invention, with an ascending flow of fluid to be treated:
- the water at the inlet (EE) of the adsorbent medium (GAC for example) is introduced into at least one GAC reactor 1 , passes through at least one bed of activated carbon and leaves via line ES (water from exit).
- the media/regenerating solution contact time is 1 hour in closed circuit, circulation (Ce) and recirculation (Rc).
- the temperature of the regeneration solution is preferably 40° C. (using a thermal resistor 5 for example) in a device for preparing the regeneration solution 2, and the regeneration solution consists of sodium hydroxide 3 to 1.7% (prepared for example with demined water 4).
- the regenerating solution can be drained (extracted from the reactor) then eliminated or directed to a storage tank (for possible later use).
- the bed of adsorbent media is then “drained” statically, preferably for 48 hours.
- Regeneration solutions are obtained by diluting a 35% sodium hydroxide solution. 100 g of CAG to be regenerated are introduced with 800 mL of the solution prepared in a 1 L bottle (except for the example "effect of the mass ratio of CAG/volume of regeneration solution" where the quantity of solution is 200, 500 or 800mL). The bottles are placed in a rotating agitator where they are mixed at a speed of approximately 15 revolutions per minute.
- 100 g of GAC is weighed.
- 100 g of drained GAC corresponds to between 100 and 125 mL depending on the degree of humidity of the GAC.
- Circulating rinse the GAC is placed in a column with water.
- the water is pumped from the top of the column and then reinjected into the bottom of the column (or evacuated) via a peristaltic pump.
- the pump is configured to deliver a flow corresponding to a speed equivalent to that of the pilot (15 m/h).
- the SBA, or Short Bed Adsorber Adsorber is an adsorption test on unground GAC, in mini-columns, under conditions of implementation close to those applied on a scale pilot.
- GAC new, used or regenerated is placed in cartridges through which passes raw water doped with micropollutants (feed matrix).
- the inlet water and the outlet water of each cartridge is analyzed to determine the reduction of micropollutants by the GAC, thus characterizing the adsorption capacities of the tested GAC.
- the peristaltic pump allows the passage of water at a fixed speed for a targeted contact time in the column, in ascending or descending flow.
- the raw water entering the SBA is spiked at 2.5 pg/L for micropollutants, such as pesticides or metabolites: Metolachlor OXA Metazachlor ESA, Alachlor OXA, Metolachlor ESA.
- micropollutants such as pesticides or metabolites: Metolachlor OXA Metazachlor ESA, Alachlor OXA, Metolachlor ESA.
- the water is transferred to the GAC cartridges, and is analyzed as they enter and exit. For each sample, the concentration of micropollutants and organic matter (COD and UV absorbance) is measured.
- the concentrations of water entering and leaving the control media (GAC before regeneration, partially saturated for the adsorption of certain micropollutants) and the reference media (new GAC) are also analyzed to determine the abatement rate, the coefficient of efficiency (RE) and maximum regeneration efficiency coefficient (RE max) for micropollutants and organic matter.
- the 4 micropollutants mentioned were chosen because they are poorly adsorbable, i.e. they are associated with breakthroughs of GAC filters for productions or media age between 50,000 and 100,000 VV.
- Organic matter is not harmful in itself but has many consequences on the treatment and appearance of water. It is, by reaction with oxidants (ozone, chlorine, etc.), the origin of disinfection by-products, it gives color to the water and is likely to saturate the filtering media.
- oxidants ozone, chlorine, etc.
- MO concentration of the order of milligrams per litre
- the OM is monitored by UV spectroscopy analysis (at 254 nm) and measurement of DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon). The higher the UV and COD values, the more MO is present.
- the COD is measured after passing through a filter (TOC-meter).
- the regeneration efficiency recovery coefficient (RE) was chosen to quantify the performance of the regeneration of GAC, vis-à-vis the adsorption of OM and micropollutants monitored in the project. It is calculated from the reduction of the compound monitored, on the regenerated CAG and on the control CAG. These quantities are therefore specific to each micropollutant (A).
- A with Co the concentration of the compound at the inlet of the CAG filter and C the concentration of the compound at the outlet of the GAC filter.
- the regeneration efficiency coefficient RE AQAG REGEWERE with A the abatement of a
- a compound WITNESS CAG A compound WITNESS CAG.
- a regeneration step as described in this example was implemented for 7 hours, with a 1.7% concentrated sodium hydroxide solution using either demineralized water or borehole water (water from the site to be treated ).
- the efficiency coefficient RE has been determined for different pollutants and is shown in [Fig. 2]
- the regeneration solution implemented in the invention comprises water from the treatment site, for example fluid to be treated in the case where the fluid to be treated is water, such as borehole water.
- a regeneration step as described in this example was implemented for 7 hours, with a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution at 1.7% and 15.2%.
- the efficiency coefficient RE has been determined and is shown in [Fig. 3] The results of FIG. 3 show that there is a very small difference between a concentration of 1.7% and a concentration of 15.2%. Effect of the mass ratio of GAC/volume of regeneration solution
- a regeneration step as described in this example was implemented with 100 g of CAG and different volumes of 1.7% regenerating solution: 200 ml_, 500 ml_ and 800 ml_.
- the efficiency coefficient RE was determined and is shown in [Fig. 4]
- the results of FIG. 4 show that the volume of regenerating solution has little influence on regeneration.
- the process has the advantage of being able to be implemented with a limited quantity of regeneration solution, thus reducing reagents and rejects.
- a regeneration step as described in this example was implemented with different sodium hydroxide/GAC contact times under stirring), with a regenerating solution at
- rinsing water is site water (drilling water) originating from the fluid to be treated.
- the inventors discovered that a draining step (waiting time) before the rinsing step or the SBA test could be implemented in order to improve the efficiency of the regeneration.
- a rinsing step was implemented immediately after a 1 hour regeneration with a 1.7% regenerating solution or a rinsing step was implemented 24 hours after a 1 hour regeneration with a 1.7% regenerating solution.
- the efficiency coefficient RE was determined and is shown in [Fig. 10] where the result without rinsing with an immediate SBA is also indicated. The results of FIG. 10 show that a draining step before rinsing step makes the regeneration more efficient.
- the invention thus proposes an effective regeneration process, implementing a reduced quantity of reagents and being able to use the water from the site as a rinsing solution and/or in the regeneration solution.
- the sodium hydroxide concentration may be less than 2% in the regeneration solution, in particular when the regeneration process includes a draining step (waiting) before rinsing.
