Arsenic Removal Technologies: A Review. By Mark Reinsel, Apex Engineering. Arsenic is a common element in the earth's crust, natural groundwater, and even the human body. It is an odorless and tasteless semi-metal (metalloid) that is naturally present in aquifers throughout the U.S. and the world. Arsenic is typically found as an …

The methods that are currently in used are ion exchange, phytoremediation, adsorption, phytobial remediation ...

The impact of arsenic on human health has led its drinking water MCL to be drastically reduced from 50 to 10 ppb. Consequently, …

Arsenic is a natural component of the earth's crust and is widely distributed throughout the environment in the air, water and land. It is highly toxic in its inorganic form. People are exposed to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic through drinking contaminated water, using contaminated water in food preparation and irrigation of food crops ...

Impact of pH. The pH of the water also has a strong effect on adsorption efficiency. As pH changes, the charge associated with the arsenic anion also changes. The H 2 AsO 4- anion carries a single negative charge at or below pH 7, but it loses a proton at higher pH, resulting in a doubly charged anion, HAsO 4-2.

The technical dificulty and high cost incurred by conventional treatment systems for As removal have led many research-ers to work on developing eficient, eco-friendly, and cost-efective technologies for the treatment of groundwater sources. Biochar has been widely used as an adsorbent for the decontamination of groundwater.

In this study, a novel environmentally-friendly BiVO 4 /TiO 2 /LED process was used for total arsenic removal from aqueous solutions. The effects of four variables including initial arsenic concentration, initial pH, reaction time, and catalyst dosage were thus taken into account.

Arsenic Removal. Arsenic is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many groundwater sources. In 2001 the USEPA established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 0.010 mG/L (10 ppb). The common forms of arsenic are arsenite (As III) and arsenate (As V). Arsenite is more soluble in water and less available for precipitation or adsorption than ...

Here, we explored the efficiency of various biosorbents (egg shell, java plum seed, water chestnut shell, corn cob, tea waste and pomegranate peel) for arsenate (As (V)) and arsenite (As (III)) removal from As-contaminated water. Significantly, egg shell and java plum seed displayed the greatest As (III) elimination (78-87%) at 7 pH followed by ...

These exceptional properties have led to numerous studies that investigate the removal of arsenic from contaminated water using MOFs in batch sorption experiments showing that MOFs are robust adsorbents with excellent removal efficiencies (Wang et al., 2015, Wang et al., 2019). However, most of the reported studies are conducted in batch ...

Eh-pH diagram for arsenic at 25 °C and 1 bar total pressure, with total arsenic 10-5 mol·L-1 ; symbols for solid species are enclosed in parentheses in crosshatched area, which indicates ...

Conventionally applied techniques to remove arsenic species include oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, and membrane techniques. Besides, progress has …

Arsenic removal studies were carried out on different MOFs such as Fe-BTC MOF, MIL-53, and ZIF-8. However, no noteworthy results were found compared to other synthetic commercial and adsorbents.

Further increase in the HPO 4 2-concentration to 5.0 mM led to a greater decrease in As(III) removal by S-nZVI and nZVI, by 97.6% and 89.3%, respectively. HPO 4 2- anions could compete with As(III) and occupy active adsorption sites by forming Fe(Ⅱ)-HPO 4 2- with Fe(II) or inner-sphere complexes with Fe(III) hydroxide, resulting in a …

A new method to remove arsenic from aqueous chloride solution by using lead oxide was proposed, and the effects of the lead(II)/arsenic(V) molar ratio (nPb(II):nAs(V)), initial pH of solution, initial concentrations of chloride ion (Cl−) and arsenic(V) on arsenic removal were investigated. The results showed that …

Arsenic is one of the most hazardous pollutants for both environment and human health [1, 2], generated from the mining activity for processing of different ores such as lead, zinc, copper, gold, and nickel [3,4,5].Therefore, arsenic should be captured and stabilized by strict control to prevent any destructive effects in the environment [6, 7].As a …

Increasing applied pressure led to increased water molecule permeability, suggesting potential for mass transfer enhancement. ... EC has been demonstrated to achieve high arsenic removal efficiencies from water with certain limitations that require further optimization [26]. EC is a multimodal and interconnected process that involves a …

The removal of arsenic from arsenic-bearing minerals is significant for further efficient and clean utilization of mineral resources. Roasting is widely used in industrial production due to its large processing capacity and high efficiency, but it also has the disadvantages of serious pollution and high energy cost.
