Role of Fe(II), phosphate, silicate, sulfate, and carbonate in arsenic uptake by coprecipitation in synthetic and natural groundwater.
Competitive effects of phosphate, silicate, sulfate, and carbonate on As(III) and As(V) removal at pH approximately 7.2 have been investigated to test the feasibility of Fe(II)(aq) and hydroxylapatite crystals as inexpensive and potentially efficient agents for remediation of contaminated well-water, using Bangladesh as a type study. Arsenic(III) removal approximately 50-55% is achieved, when F...
متن کاملMicrobial mineral weathering for nutrient acquisition releases arsenic.
Tens of millions of people in Southeast Asia drink groundwater contaminated with naturally occurring arsenic. How arsenic is released from the sediment into the water remains poorly understood. Here, we show in laboratory experiments that phosphate-limited cells of Burkholderia fungorum mobilize ancillary arsenic from apatite. We hypothesize that arsenic mobilization is a by-product of mineral ...
متن کاملNatural Arsenic in Groundwater and Alkaline Lakes at the upper Paraguay basin, Pantanal, Brazil
A distinctive feature of Nhecolândia, a sub-region of the Pantanal wetland in Brazil, is the presence of both saline (alkaline) and freshwater lakes. Saline lakes were attributed to a past arid phase during the Pleistocene, but recent studies have shown that the geochemistry of the saline lakes arises from the current concentration process of fresh waters that is supplied to the Pantanal every ...
متن کاملArsenic in groundwater: testing pollution mechanisms for sedimentary aquifers in Bangladesh
In the deltaic plain of the Ganges-Meghna-Brahmaputra rivers, arsenic concentrations in groundwater commonly exceed regulatory limits (50 μg l) because FeOOH is microbially reduced and releases its sorbed load of arsenic to groundwater. Neither pyrite oxidation nor competitive exchange with fertilizer-phosphate contribute to arsenic pollution. The most intense reduction, and so severest polluti...
متن کاملArsenic Removal from Aqueous Solution Using Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles (Anatase)
Background and Objectives: Groundwater sources, as strategic sources of water supply, are of particular importance for human beings. Arsenic is a toxic and carcinogenic contaminant that has been reported to be widely found in groundwater sources. In recent years, adsorption property of nanoparticles has been used to remove arsenic. The present study was performed with the aim of assessing the a...
