Arsenic removal from real-life groundwater by adsorption on laterite soil.
The adsorption characteristics of arsenic on laterite soil, a low-cost natural adsorbent, were studied in the laboratory scale using real-life sample. The studies were conducted by both batch and continuous mode. Laterite soil was found to be an efficient adsorbent for arsenic removal from the groundwater collected from arsenic affected area. The initial concentration of arsenic in the sample w...
متن کاملArsenic Removal from Groundwater using Ferric
Arsenic is a carcinogenic metalloid that is currently regulated in drinking water. The levels of arsenic in finished water in an existing water treatment plant are exceeding the current regulation of 10 μg/L. One of the available technologies for arsenic removal from groundwater is adsorption onto coagulated flocs and in this field, ferric chloride is the most commonly used coagulant for arseni...
متن کامل1 Arsenic removal from groundwater using iron
10 11 We demonstrate that electrocoagulation (EC) using iron electrodes can reduce arsenic 12 below 10 µg/L in synthetic Bangladesh groundwater and in real groundwater from 13 Bangladesh and Cambodia while investigating the effect of operating parameters that are 14 often overlooked, such as charge dosage rate. We measure arsenic removal performance 15 over a larger range of current density tha...
متن کاملRemoval of methylated arsenic in groundwater with iron filings.
Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the potential use of Fe filings to remove monomethyl arsenate (MMA) and dimethyl arsenate (DMA) from contaminated waters. Batch experiments show that the affinity of MMAfor Fe filings is comparable to that of inorganic arsenate, but lower than that for arsenite. In contrast, very little DMA was retained by Fe filings or their corrosion pr...
متن کاملRemoval of arsenic from groundwater by electro-ultrafiltration
The objective of this study was to examine the removal of arsenic from groundwater by a laboratory scale electro-ultrafiltration (EUF) system. Two groundwater samples taken from I-Ian County located in the northeastern part of Taiwan were studied. These well waters were selected based on their As(III) and As(V) contents; the As(III) to As(V) ratios of the well water were 1.8 and 0.4 for Well-#1...
