Synergistically Improved Catalytic Ozonation Process Using Iron-Loaded Activated Carbons for the Removal of Arsenic in Drinking Water

This research attempts to find a new approach for the removal of arsenic (As) from drinking water by developing novel solution. To author’s knowledge, iron-loaded activated carbons (Fe-AC) have not been previously applied As in synergistic process using ozonation and catalytic processes. The was investigated samples different areas Lahore, Pakistan, compared with without catalysts. results also suggested that significantly removes as single adsorption Moreover, feed ozone 1.0 mg/min catalyst dose 10 g found maintain maximum efficiency 98.6% within 30 min. dose–effect tends increase catalysts amount. Hence, it is concluded Fe-AC/O3 efficiently water. established might be regarded an effective method removing
