Abstract: The improved method of treating activated carbon having an organochlorine compound adsorbed thereon which comprises adding water to said activated carbon and then exposing said activated carbon to ionizing radiation, thereby decomposing and rendering harmless the organochlorine compound adsorbed on the activated carbon is described. The method is capable of safe and efficient decomposition of the activated carbon that has been used in adsorption treatment of organochlorine compounds such as PCBs and trichloroethylene that have heretofore been difficult to treat. The activated carbon that has hitherto simply been accumulated to date after adsorbing organochlorine compounds can be effectively treated by the method at low cost.
