Introduction. Arsenic pollution in water can cause serious impacts on both aqueous environment and human health (Sarkar and Paul, 2016).As previously reported, long-term exposure to arsenic-contaminated water may lead to chronic or acute toxicity, various types of cancer, and even death (Li et al., 2020c).Generally, arsenite (AsO 3 3−) …
5 – Ion exchange. Ion exchange is a water treatment technology that uses resin beads to remove arsenic from drinking water. The resin beads are charged with positive ions (cations). When the beads come in contact with arsenic, the arsenic molecules attach themselves to the negative ions on the bead.
Arsenic treatment systems reduced well water arsenic concentrations ( [As]) by up to two orders of magnitude, i.e. from a median of 71.7 to 0.8 μg/L and from a …
Arsenic in the geo-environment: A review of sources, geochemical processes, toxicity and removal technologies. N. JanardhanaRaju. Show more. Add to …
Arsenic Factsheet. Arsenic, a naturally occurring element, can combine with either inorganic or organic substances to form many different compounds. Inorganic arsenic compounds are in soils, sediments, and groundwater. These compounds occur either naturally, or as a result of mining, ore smelting, or when using arsenic for industrial …
Arsenic test kits are a quick and effective way to check your water for arsenic. These test kits are easy to use, and many provide results in just 12 minutes. First, you will mix your water with a tartaric acid reagent. Next, you will add an oxidizing reagent to the mixture to remove hydrogen sulfide interference.
In the past few years, there have been extensive studies on arsenic removal techniques to increase arsenic uptake from the environment. These processes are being examined by the researchers in laboratory experiments and the field. The methods that are currently in used are ion exchange, phytoremediation, adsorption, phytobial remediation ...
Arsenic removal by adsorption. Many methods have been given for Arsenic removal which include chemical precipitation [ 25 ], adsorption [ 26 ], ion exchange [ 27 ], reverse osmosis [ 28 ], and electro …
Abstract. Intensive research efforts have been pursued to remove arsenic (As) contamination from water with an intention to provide potable water to millions of people living in different countries. Recent studies have revealed that iron-based adsorbents, which are non-toxic, low cost, and easily accessible in large quantities, offer …
Arsenic being the twentieth most abundant metalloid in the earth's crust is one of the most hazardous elements both for humans and animals. Arsenic results from both man-made and natural activities pose a major health hazard for around 150 million people across the globe due to its carcinogenic properties. Thus, the review article …
For example, the maximums of arsenic uptake capacity of Mg-Al-NO 3 LDH and Mg-Al-CO 3 LDH are 15.8 and 3.75 mg/g, respectively 20, much lower than that of nanocrystalline iowaite. Another …
Highly efficient decontamination of naturally occurring As(III) from aqueous media remains a rigorous task for public health and ecosystem protection.As its increasingly acute toxicity and mobile characteristics than those of As(V), it is imperative to exploit a technique for the simultaneous removal and detoxication of As(III).Herein, a novel …
Context: 'AMRIT Technology' (Arsenic and Metal Removal by Indian Technology) has been developed by IIT- Madras for the removal of Arsenic and Metal ions from water. Jal Jeevan Mission: Reaching 71.5% Rural s with Tap Water. In a written reply to Parliament, the Minister of State for Jal Shakti outlined the following …
Arsenic is a toxic element in the metalloid family and is considered dangerous [1].It is a highly toxic element at low concentrations and causes many serious environmental concerns at all levels, since this toxic chemical is widely distributed in nature and throughout the world [2].Many countries suffer from arsenic pollution, such as …
Arsenic (As) removal is of major significance because inorganic arsenic is highly toxic to all life forms, is a confirmed carcinogen, and is of significant environmental concern. As contamination in drinking water alone threatens more than 150 million people all over the world. Therefore, several conventional methods such as oxidation, …
Untreated and treated water samples were collected following a similar 6 protocol as the aforementioned USGS sampling, with the exception that samples for arsenic speciation were processed using a disposable arsenic speciation cartridge packed with highly selective adsorbent (Metalsoft Center, Highland Park, NJ) in the field to …
A concise review of arsenic removal technologies. • Arsenic toxicity, occurrence and health hazards. • Arsenic removal technology, its advantages and …
In different arsenic-rich aquatic environments, many microorganisms have developed mechanisms to tolerate high arsenic concentration and/or utilize it for respiratory metabolism (Huang 2014) (Fig. 1).In particular, they can mediate arsenic reduction, oxidation, methylation and demethylation reactions (Oremland and Stolz 2003).Over the …
Depending on the physical, chemical and biogeochemical processes and condition of the environment, various arsenic species can be present in water. Water soluble arsenic species existing in natural water are inorganic arsenic (iAs) and organic arsenic (oAs) species. All acidic species, according to the chemical equilibrium, have …
Regrettably, the arsenic removal efficiency of pure BC is unsatisfactory. Therefore, the focus of this research is to introduce BC to induce the surface formation of HFO to improve its distribution and limit its release into the environment, hoping to get a new As(III) adsorbent with wide application and high adsorption efficiency.
Recent research has predominantly focused on removing arsenic from aqueous solutions through adsorption methods. Notably, nanoparticle adsorbents and …

1. Introduction. Arsenic (As) is one of the most widespread heavy metal contaminants in both surface and groundwater systems and poses a severe risk to the aquatic environment and to human health (Argos et al., 2012; Su et al., 2018).Related human disease and mortality have been reported in many countries (Ahmad et al., 2018; …
At that time, no simple, technical solution existed for small and medium-sized waterworks to reliably remove arsenic and meet the newly-defined limit value. This gave rise, in the early 1990s, to the development of the granular adsorbent known as GEH®. Since arsenic is commonly found in water as a dissolved substance, such as arsenate (As (V ...
