Understanding Regeneration of Arsenate-Loaded Ferric Hydroxide-Based Adsorbents

90Y ferric hydroxide colloid.

At the Radiochemical Centre we have recently developed a new 90Y colloid which has greater stability than the currently available 90Y silicate colloid and appears from the results of animal tests to be suitable for the treatment of rheumatoid knee joint effusions. In this report the need for a new 90Y colloid is assessed and the preparation and properties of the new colloid are described. Curre...

Regeneration and reuse of iron hydroxide adsorbents in treatment of metal-bearing wastes

Sludge from a treatment process using iron was exposed to a mildly acidic solution to investigate iron hydroxide's capacity to collect metals from waste. Batches of iron hydroxide were regenerated and reused 50 times to treat both synthetic and real plating waste. Treatment efficiency was very high and steady, and there was no indication of deterioration in any aspect of process performance. Ov...

Enhanced Arsenate Removal Performance in Aqueous Solution by Yttrium-Based Adsorbents

Arsenic contamination in drinking water has become an increasingly important issue due to its high toxicity to humans. The present study focuses on the development of the yttrium-based adsorbents, with basic yttrium carbonate (BYC), Ti-loaded basic yttrium carbonate (Ti-loaded BYC) and yttrium hydroxide prepared using a co-precipitation method. The Langmuir isotherm results confirmed the maximu...
