Experimental Study of Adsorption Treatment of the Arsenic-Containing Rural Drinking Groundwater

Abstract:

The arsenic-containing rural drinking groundwater was treated by adsorption method in the paper. It was studied that the varieties and dosages of adsorbents, pH value and adsorption time have an effect on removal of arsenic. The experimental results indicated that the rate of arsenic removal is able to reach 91.39% at room temperature and under the condition of neutral pH values, 2.0 g of zeolite as adsorbent and 1 h of adsorption time. The content of arsenic in the treated drinking groundwater can be up to the current national hygiene standards of rural drinking water (<0.05mg /L).
