Abstract. A low-cost arsenic removal method based on oxidation-coagulation at optimized pH (OCOP), which is popular as Arsiron-Nilogon in Assam, India, uses KMnO 4 to remove arsenic and oxidation of As(III) to As(V) before coagulation using FeCl 3.In this method KMnO 4 shows a major role in oxidation and removal of arsenic from the water. …
Figure 2.2 indicates that the arsenic removal efficiency in the absence of chlorine increases steeply from 15% to 80% as the pH changes from 9 to 11 when the arsenic concentration of the contaminated water is 400 μg/L. Arsenic removal efficiency for the same feed varies almost linearly (from 30% to 95%) with pH in the range of 8–11 in the presence of chlorine.

A concise review of arsenic removal technologies. • Arsenic toxicity, occurrence and health hazards. • Arsenic removal technology, its advantages and …
Redox potential (Eh) and pH control arsenic speciation. H 2 A S O 4 − dominates at low pH (less than about pH 6.9) in oxidizing conditions. At higher pH, HAsO 4 2− is dominant (H 3 AsO 4 0 and AsO 4 3− may be present in strong acid or base conditions, respectively). Under reducing conditions at pH < ∼9.2, the uncharged H 3 …
Arsenic is a naturally occurring chemical element that is widely distributed in the Earth's crust. Arsenic levels in the environment can vary by locality, and it is found in water, air, and soil. Arsenic in drinking water is a widespread concern. Arsenic levels tend to be higher in groundwater sources, such as wells, than from surface sources ...
1. Arsenic is the 20th-highest natural metalloid found in the earth's crust, is well known for its adverse effects on both humans and marine life. ... One-step synthesis of magnetic composites of cellulose iron oxide nanoparticles for arsenic removal. J Mater Chem A. 2013;1(3):959–965. [Web of Science ®], ...
It is recommended that methods of arsenic removal be explored in these instances. At this time, NJDEP recommends arsenic removal for residences whose well water contains arsenic above 5 µg/L. Any corrective action on water with arsenic levels at or below 5 µg/L is considered a personal decision at this time. ...
Arsenic removal using metal, metal oxides, and mixed metal nanoparticles, as well as some commercially available and low-cost nanoparticle-impregnated adsorbents, nanotubes, biological method and various …
Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a serious concern worldwide. The research gaps in removing arsenic are selectivity, regeneration and effective removal rate at neutral pH levels. In this ...
1. Introduction. Contamination of soils and waters with arsenic (As) as a highly toxic element is an increasing environmental issue. The safety level of As in water (10 ppb) and soil (100 mg/kg) [] has already been exceeded by multifold (e.g., 50 ppb in drinking water) in many Asian countries, leading to various negative health implications, including …
Treatment of drinking water for arsenic (As) removal has been implemented in centralized facilities worldwide, reflecting the increasingly stringent national and …
An emerging arsenic removal technology—reactive filtration process based on arsenic adsorption onto iron oxide—was selected for testing. A series of laboratory trials was conducted to simulate the operation of a sand and iron oxide filter, using raw water presenting an arsenic concentration of 12 ppb. The final results showed arsenic levels ...
Depending on the oxido-reduction conditions, microbiological environment, arsenic species can be present in water in solution or in a precipitated form, and they can also adsorb or desorb from the existing precipitates [1, 2].When arsenic species are soluble in water, they can be present in both inorganic and organic forms.
Methods for reducing arsenic concentrations include: Lime precipitation. Oxidation. Coagulation/filtration. Adsorptive media. Ion exchange. Reverse osmosis. Lime precipitation has been used to reduce …
This review paper presents an overview of the available technologies used nowadays for the removal of arsenic species from water. Conventionally applied techniques to remove arsenic species include oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, and membrane …
