Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the removal efficiency of arsenite and arsenate using composite adsorbents with various mixing ratio of recycled aluminum oxides and $TiO_2$. From batch adsorption experiments, while the removal of As(III) was almost same with 4 different composite samples in the entire pH range, the removal of As(V) was substantially increased as the weight ratio of $TiO_2$ in composite samples reduced and showed anionic adsorption characteristics. Both adsorption of As (III) and As(V) on composite samples followed pseudo-second-order adsorption equation and C-3 showed faster reaction rate for the removal of arsenic. From the adsorption isotherm experiments, Langmuir isotherm explained well and the maximum adsorption capacities of arsenic were obtained with C-1.
