Arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is severe problem for about 100 million people who live in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, Mongolia, and Ethiopia etc. Chronic doses cause skin cancer, blackfoot disease, and cardiac damage. Even though the biosand filter (BSF) is popular in many developing countries, it could not remove effectively hazardous ions as As. Adsorbent is effective and feasible to reduce As. In this study the improved biosand filter (iBSF) was embedded with adsorbent, was tested to evaluate As removal as well as organic removal. In 20 days removal of turbidity, bacteria, and $UV_{254}$ have shown 60-95 % removal. Arsenic was removed more than 99.9 % in the columns embedded with silica oxides of ferric manganese ($FM{\alpha}$) while 5.8 ~ 38.3 % in columns without $FM{\alpha}$. Isotherm test showed that average amount of the adsorbed arsenic on the oxides was 0.56 mg/G.

This study investigated the purification process of groundwater contaminated with zinc and arsenic using a permeable reactive barrier with a zero-valent iron/pumice mixture. We determined the removal rates of the contaminants for 30 days. In this study, column reactor filled with the zero-valent iron/pumice reactive mixture was used. Experimental results showed that the mixture exhibited an almost complete removal of the zinc and arsenic ions. Arsenic was removed via co-precipitation and adsorption processes while zinc ions were asorbed in active sites.The purification process of water from the metal ionscontinued for 30 days with constant hydraulic conductivity because of the enhanced porosity of the pumice and interparticle distance between the zero-valent iron and pumice. Contaminants removal rates and the remediation mechanism for each reactive system are described in this paper.

Feasibility of laboratory-synthesized zerovalent iron was investigated to remove arsenic from leachates of tailings taken from an Au-Ag abandoned mine. The tailings were seriously contaminated with arsenic, and its potential adverse effect on the ecosystems around the mine seems to be significantly high. Long-term column experiments were conducted for about 3.5 months to evaluate the effectiveness of the synthesized zerovalent iron for removal of arsenic. Over than 95% removal efficiency of As was observed in the zerovalent iron mediated tests. In addition, the XRD data suggest that the corrosion products of ZVI were identified magnetite, maghemite, goethite, and lepidocrocite, all of which support Fe(II) oxidation as an intermediate step in the zerovalent iron corrosion process. The results indicate that arsenic can be removed from the tailing-leachate by the mechanism of coprecipitation and/or adsorption onto those iron oxides formed from ZVI corrosion.

This research examines the feasibility of using laboratory-synthesized nano scale zero-valent iron particles to remove arsenic from aqueous phase. Batch experiments were performed to determine arsenic sorption rates as a function of the nano scale zero-valent iron solution concentration. Rapid adsorption of arsenic was achieved with the nano scale zero-valent iron. Typically 1 mg $L^{-1}$ arsenic (III) was adsorbed by 5 g $L^{-1}$ nano scale zero-valent iron below the 0.01 g $L^{-1}$ concentration within 7min. The kinetics of the arsenic sorption followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Observed reaction rate constants ( $K_{obs}$) varied between 11.4 to 129.0 $h^{-1}$ with respect to different concentrations of nano scale zero-valent iron. A variety of analytical techniques were used to study the reaction products including HGAAS (hydride generator atomic adsorption spectrophotometer), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Our experimental results suggest novel method for efficient removal of arsenic Iron groundwater.r.

Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to study the effectiveness of five adsorbents for the removal of arsenic. The adsorbents included activated alumina (AA), iron coated AA (ICAA), and granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), granular ferric oxide (GFO), and granular titanium dioxide (GTD). Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate arsenic removal using challenge water prepared in accordance with NSF International Standards 53 (ANSl/NSF 53-2001). Field experiments were conducted using arsenic-contaminated groundwater In laboratory experiment, the treatment capacity decreased in the following order GTD > GFO > GFH. In contrast, the treatment capacity decreased in the following order GFO > GTD > GFH > ICAA > Ah in field experiments.

본 연구에서는 수용액상의 비소를 산화 및 흡착기작을 이용하여 제거하기 위해서 철과 망간 산화물로 코팅된 입자 활성탄 (FMOCG)을 제조하고, 이의 표면특성 및 회분식 실험을 통하여 비소제거 특성을 규명하였다. 회분식 실험에서는 네 가지 코팅매질의 비소 산화 및 흡착 동역학, pH 영향, 등온흡착실험을 실시하였다. 코팅매질의 철과 망간 함량은 FMOCG-1(178.12 Fe mg/g, 11.25 Mn mg/g)가 비교적 많은 것으로 나타났다. 비소흡착 동역학을 통하여 As(III)의 경우 산화 및 흡착을 통하여 제거됨을 확인하였다. pH 영향실험 결과 pH가 낮을수록 비소의 제거율이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 등온흡착실험 결과는 Langmuir isotherm에 잘 적용되었으며 As(III)보다 As(V)의 흡착량이 약간 높았으며, 최대 흡착량은 1.38~8.44 mg As(III)/g과 2.91~9.63 mg As(V)/g이었다.

Magnetic biochar produced from pyrolysis of dairy cattle manure was used to develop an effective sorbent for arsenic purification from aqueous solution. Biomass and magnetized biomass were pyrolyzed in a tube furnace with 10 ℃/min heating rate at 450 ℃ under nitrogen flow of 100 cm³/min for 2 h. Biochars were characterized by SEM-EDX, BET, XDR, FTIR, TGA, zeta potential analysis. The resultant biochar and magnetic biochar were opposed to 50-100-500 ppm As(V) laden aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were performed by using ASTM 4646-03 batch method. The effects of concentration, pH, temperature and stirring rate on adsorption were evaluated. As(V) was successfully removed from aqueous solution by magnetic biochar due to its highly porous structure, high aromaticity and polarity. The results suggest dairy cattle manure pyrolysis is a promising route for managing animal manure and producing a cost effective biosorbent for efficient immobilization of arsenic in aqueous solutions.

In this report, we provide experimental evidence that heavy metal ions could be removed using Pachymeniopsis sp., particularly soluble arsenic in leachate from soil contaminated by arsenic. We performed pilot scale of soil washing process based on our results. The adsorption of arsenic by Pachymeniopsis sp. indicated that it could be described with the Langmuir Model and the maximum adsorption capacity increased with decreasing pH (pH 3: 102.48 mg/g, pH 5: 98.32 mg/g, pH 7: 57.70 mg/g, pH 9: 43.34 mg/g) and increasing temperature (10$^{\circ}C$ : 60.38 mg/g, 20$^{\circ}C$ : 76.39 mg/g, 30$^{\circ}C$ : 112.12 mg/g). Our results revealed that soluble arsenic in leachate was removed from 24.03 mg/L to 0.6 ${\pm}$ 0.1 mg/L by Pachymeniopsis sp. for 48hours on pilot scale of soil washing process.

암모니아성 질소($NH_4-N$)는 산업 폐수, 농업 및 축산 폐수에 포함되어 있으며 인과 함께 수질의 부영양화를 일으키는 물질로 잘 알려져 있다. 또한 망간(Mn)과 비소(As)는 광산 처리수 등에 포함되어 있으며, 수질 오염의 원인 물질로 알려져 있다. 천연 제올라이트는 수중에서 암모니아성 질소를 제거하는데 사용되고 있지만 낮은 흡착능력을 가진다. 이러한 천연 제올라이트의 낮은 흡착능력을 개선하기 위해 $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$로 이온 치환을 진행하였다. 암모니아성 질소($NH_4-N$)의 흡착량과 제거율은 $Na^+$로 이온 치환된 제올라이트에서 0.66 mg/g과 89.8%로 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 이온 치환된 제올라이트를 이용하여 Mn과 As의 흡착실험을 진행하였다. $Mg^{2+}$로 이온 치환된 제올라이트에서 Mn과 As의 높은 흡착량과 제거율을 보였다.
