Efficacy of arsenic filtration by Kanchan Arsenic Filter in Nepal
Groundwater arsenic contamination has caused a significant public health burden in lowland regions of Nepal. For arsenic mitigation purposes, the Kanchan Arsenic Filter (KAF) was developed and validated for use in 2003 after pilot studies showed its effectiveness in removing arsenic. However, its efficacy in field conditions operating for a long period has been scarcely observed. In this study, ...

Arsenic Exposure and Childhood CancerA Systematic Review of the Literature
The literature on environmental arsenic exposure and childhood cancer risk comprises 1) studies seeking childhood cancers among arsenic-exposed populations, 2) studies seeking arsenic exposure among childhood cancer cases, and 3) studies seeking associations in populations with both arsenic exposures and childhood cancer cases. No skin cancers were found in dermal examinations of over 25,000 ...

Adsorption mechanism of As(V) and As(III) on Fe–Mn binary oxides in synthetic and real water matrices
A series of Fe–Mn binary oxides with different Fe:Mn ratios (1:1, 3:1, 6:1, 9:1) were synthesized to investigate the optimal Fe:Mn ratio for the removal of As(III) and As(V). Batch experiments were performed to determine the rate of adsorption and equilibrium isotherms. Adsorption kinetics were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both As(III) and As(V). The adsorption ...

Profile: Kilogram-scale synthesis of iron oxy-hydroxides with improved arsenic removal capacity: Study of Fe(II) oxidationâprecipitation parameters
This work describes a thorough research of the iron oxy-hydroxides’ preparation using the most common low cost iron salts (FeSO4•H2O and FeCl2) and their evaluation as As(III) and As(V) adsorbents. It is the first study that summarizes the role of synthesis parameters on the arsenic adsorption efficiency of iron oxy-hydroxides under the perspective of large-scale production and ...

Middle Verde, Arizona - Case Study
AdEdge Water Technologies was contacted by Indian Health Services in August 2009 to design, manufacture, and start up an arsenic removal system for the Middle Verde community in Arizona. Middle Verde had an arsenic concentration of 0.02 mg/L, well above the United States Environmental Protection Agencys maximum contaminant level of 0.01 mg/L. The AdEdge treatment system consisted of an ...
