Arsenic is a kind of protoplasmic poison, which exists widely in the natural environment. Consuming too much arsenic can cause number health problems. Manganese oxide plays an important role pollution removal technology. In this paper, hazard and its treatment methods application manganese oxides are summarized, prospect research on by put forward.

development of industrial activities around the world, especially during the last decades has resulted in environmental pollution rising. soil pollution is always considered as one of the most dangerous environmental threat for human’s life, fauna and flora. heavy metals such as arsenic are potential hazardous elements in generating the soil pollution. these materials could be entered into the ...

A process, which does not require the addition of large amounts of chemicals, for the removal of arsenic (V) utilizing amphiphilic aggregates (i.e. cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) micelles) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes has been studied. The suitability of UF process was evaluated with semi-equilibrium dialysis (SED) cell since the UF process incorporated with amphiphilic aggregates is an e...

Since 1997, over 135 well-head arsenic removal units have been installed in remote villages in the Indian state of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. Every component of the arsenic removal treatment system including activated alumina sorbent is procured indigenously. Each unit serves approximately 200-300 households and contains about 100 L of activated alumina. No chemical addition, pH adjustme...

Weathering of the As-rich pyrite-rich tailings of the abandoned mining site of Carnoulès (southeastern France) results in the formation of acid waters heavily loaded with arsenic. Dissolved arsenic present in the seepage waters precipitates within a few meters from the bottom of the tailing dam in the presence of microorganisms. An Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain, referred to as CC1, was ...

In the present study, several pre-polymerized coagulants of iron and aluminum were tested for their efficiency towards As(V) and As(III) removal from water sources. The results showed that the pre-polymerized coagulants of iron, such as poly-ferric sulfate and poly-ferric silicate chloride, were very efficient for As(V) removal. With regard to As(III) removal, among all examined coagulants, inc...

This report examines the mortality experience of 527 men who retired from a copper smelter where they were exposed to airborne arsenic trioxide. Urinary arsenic values of all plant employees were determined in 1973, and the relative arsenic exposure in the various departments of the plant were determined. The relationship of airborne arsenic concentrations to urinary arsenic values was studied ...
