Use advice for data set
Users of this data set should consider the specific context of the activated carbon unit, including its deployment in a P&T system aimed at pesticide-contaminated groundwater. Given the location in Jiangsu Province, users may need to take into account local environmental regulations and remediation standards. The construction materials (steel and activated carbon pellets) should be detailed in inventory analysis, and this system should be integrated into larger LCA models that account for the entire lifecycle of the remediation project, including potential changes in efficacy of the activated carbon over time.

General comment
The site is a closed pesticide manufacturing plant. The water table is located around −4 m (below the ground). The aquifer mainly consists of silty sand with approximately 20 m depth, and the aquitard containing silty clay is located at about −24 m to −33 m. Other hydrogeological parameters include water content 26.33 %, hydraulic conductivity 0.00105 cm/s, groundwater gradient 0.008, Darcy velocity 0.73 cm/d, and actual velocity 1.83 cm/d. High concentrations (hundreds of mg/L) of VOCs were detected in the groundwater including BTEX, vinyl chloride (VC), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

Technical purpose
The granular activated carbon unit described is purposed for groundwater ex-situ remediation as part of a pump and treat (P&T) system. It is primarily designed for the treatment of contaminated groundwater at a closed pesticide manufacturing plant located in Jiangsu Province, China. The unit is constructed using steel and activated carbon pellets, which suggests its application in the infrastructure construction phase of environmental remediation projects.
