Arsenic Removal from Wastewater Using Adsorptive Mediums

Article Preview

Abstract:

Different adsorptive mediums and adsorbents’ compounds were chosen to remove arsenic from Yangzonghai Lake wastewater. Results showed that Ca(OH)2, attapulgite, bentonite, LDHs these adsorptive mediums had adsorptive capacities of less than 2.5 mg/g of As removal and it took long time for sediment before monitoring; adsorbents compounds’ results showed Fe2O3 and quartz sands had best removal rate and quartz sands had little removal of arsenic. Both strong anion resin and hydrated ferrous oxide-loaded on polystyrene diethanolamine resin(designated as PDR-HFO) can decrease As concentration to less than 0.01 mg/L reaching national standards for arsenic; anions such as SO42- can not be removed when strong anion resin was regenerated causing its loss of exchange ions; PDR-HFO exhibited excellent adsorptive properties and recyclability.
