The adsorption study was conducted on three Japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of Arsenic (As). Double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on As adsorption. For this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. The As adsorption showed two phase kinetics. An initial and rapid adsorpt...

In the present study electrocoagulation (EC) has been evaluated as a treatment technology for arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] removal from water. Laboratory scale experiments were conducted with three electrode materials namely, iron, aluminum and titanium to assess their efficiency. Arsenic removal obtained was highest with iron electrodes. EC was able to bring down aqueous phase arsen...

The adsorption characteristics of As(V) and As(III) on titanium dioxide loaded Amberlite XAD-7 resin have been studied. The resin was prepared by impregnation of Ti(OC2H5)4 followed by hydrolysis with ammonium hydroxide. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of the pH, shaking time and the concentration of As(V) and As(III) ions. The resin showed a strong adsorption for As...

Arsenic at abandoned mine sites has adversely affected human health in Korea. In this study, the feasibility of using cationic surfactant-modified activated carbon (MAC) to remove As(V) was evaluated in terms of adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and column experiments. The adsorption of As(V) onto MAC was satisfactorily simulated by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir i...

red mud (rm), a waste tailing from alumina production, (as an important environmental problem), can be used as a strong absorbent pollutant. in this study, the modified red mud (mrm) and pillared clay (pilc) were used for the removal of arsenate from water. the modified red mud (mrm) and pilc complex were characterized using xrd, sem and xrf microanalysis. the adsorption of arsenate on modified...

in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorpt...

Arsenic, one of the most toxic and dangerous elements in the environment affecting millions of people around the world, is associated with several diseases. In this pilot study, we investigated removal of arsenate from aqueous solutions using chitosan under the influences of initial arsenic ion concentrations, pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosages of chitosan. In order to assess the sorption ...
