Arsenic adsorption by iron-aluminium hydroxide coated onto macroporous supports : Insights from x-ray absorption spectroscopy and comparison with granular ferric hydroxides
(2016) 6th International Congress on Arsenic in the Environment, AS 2016 p.478-479- Abstract
The arsenic adsorption characteristics of a macroporous polymer coated with coprecipi-tated iron-aluminium hydroxides (MHCMP) is evaluated in this study. The MHCMP had a maximum adsorption capacity of 82.3 and 49.6 mg As/g adsorbent for As(III) and As(V) ions respectively. Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) confirmed that binding of As(III) ions took place on the iron hydroxides coated on the MHCMP, whereas for As(V) ions the binding specificity could not be attributed to one particular metal hydroxide. Column experiments were run in a well water spiked with 100 μg/L concentration of As(III) and for comparison a commercially available adsorbent (GEH®102) based on granular iron-hydroxide was used. The MHCMP was able to... (More)

Column experiments were run in a well water spiked with 100 μg/L concentration of As(III) and for comparison a commercially available adsorbent (GEH®102) based on granular iron-hydroxide was used. The MHCMP was able to treat seven times more volume of well water as compared to GEH®102, maintaining the threshold concentration of less than 10 μg As/L, indicating that the MHCMP is a superior adsorbent.
