Adsorption of As (v) from Water by Activated Aluminum Oxide

Abstract:

In this paper the adsorption properties of activated aluminum oxide (AAO ) to As(V) were researched. The effect of operating factors such as pH, contact time and initial As(V) concentration was investigated and the optimum operating conditions were established. Experimental results indicated that the optimal pH value adsorption of As(V)by activated aluminum oxide was from 4 to 6, and the optimum initial pH values was 5.5.The adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 5h.The adsorption capacity for As(V)increased with increasing concentration and the adsorption date was well fit by the Langmuir isotherm model. It is believed that activated aluminum oxide (AAO) is environmentally acceptable and industrially application for utilization in arsenic-containing wastewater treatment.
