Fate of Arsenic in the Mahomet Aquifer: The Influence of Added Sulfate and Nitrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material from the Mahomet aquifer, known to have pockets of high arsenic concentration, was evaluated for different microbiological activities that could influence the mobility of arsenic in groundwater. Project activities included a thorough assessment of core material collected in a region of the aquifer known for high arsenic concentration and flow-through column experiments evaluating the potential nature of arsenic mobilization in the subsurface.

Microcosms containing sediment from an aquifer in Cambodia with naturally elevated levels of arsenic in the associated groundwater were used to evaluate the effectiveness of microbially mediated production of iron minerals for in situ As remediation. The microcosms were first incubated without amendments for 28 days, and the release of As and other geogenic chemicals from the sediments into the...
