Effective removal of arsenic (V) from aqueous solutions using efficient CuO/TiO2 nanocomposite adsorbent

The groundwater is one of the biggest natural resources for providing drinking water to millions people all around globe. However, presence large amount arsenic(V) in causes serious health hazards consumers which necessitates development cost-effective remediation. CuO/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by precipitation-deposition method removal arsenate ion (AsO43-) from water. samples characterized powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and scanning electron microscopy examine crystallite size structure, material purity, textural features, morphology, surface area. effect different operating parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration nanocomposite dose on rate was examined optimize adsorption performance nanocomposite. In addition, mechanism studied employing Langmuir Freundlich isotherms gain better understanding mechanism. isotherm fits well with experimental data maximum capacity model found be 90 mg/g arsenic(V). shows remarkable treatment contaminated samples. This study provides a solution safe use arsenic.
