Four low-cost iron-bearing geo-adsorbents were tested for As(V) removal without pretreatment: Montanit300® (M), diatomite (D), pumice (P) and black sand (BS). The solids carefully characterized by different analytical techniques (SEM-EDX, TPD-pyridine, N2 Physisorption, XRD point of zero charge). adsorption was evaluated through isotherms kinetic studies (bottled water matrix, pH0=8,25 g/L soli...
