Lake Restoration of Arsenic Pollution by Manganese Ore

Abstract:

Using manganese ore coated with small stones to adsorb arsenic from the contaminated water samples of Yangzonghai Lake, and several factors that may have impacts on the arsenic removal efficiency are analyzed. The result shows that the new adsorbent material has a great effect on arsenic removal. Temperature's effect on arsenic removal efficiency is not obvious. The arsenic removal efficiency increased dramatically in accordance with residence time within 0-660s, and then stabilized. The adsorption process is better when conducted in acidic conditions, the maximum adsorption rate reached 83.0% with the pH of 3.0 and it reached the minimum value of 14.7% when pH is 10. Fe³⁺ and Ca²⁺ can slightly promote manganese ore's adsorption of arsenic, and with anions CO₃^2-, SiO₃^2- , efficiency was slightly reduced. When fitting the kinetics data of arsenic removal by coated manganese ore, the adsorption process is correspondent with first-order reaction kinetics model. The adsorption isotherm is more close to the Freundlich isotherm model.
