The effect of co-existing solutes on arsenate removal with hydrotalcite compound
Hydrotalcite (HTAL-Cl), an inorganic anion exchanger, is of use as an adsorbent for the removal of arsenate (As(V)) in water systems. The adsorption properties of HTAL-Cl for As(V) and the effects of co-existing anions on the As(V) removal performance were investigated in this work. Under the conditions of pH≥4, the adsorption capacity for As(V) gradually decreased with an increase of pH, but ...

Removal of arsenic from a deep well by electrocoagulation in a continuous filter press reactor
We investigated arsenic removal from groundwater by electrocoagulation (EC) using aluminum as the sacrificial anode in a continuous filter press reactor. The groundwater was collected at a depth of 200 m in the plateau region, in Central Mexico, (As 134 μg L−1, Fe 0.3 mg L−1, Cd 0.7 mg L−1, Na 58 mg L−1, pH 6.8). The influence of current density (J) and mean ...

3 Water Utilities that Lowered their Arsenic Levels with AdEdge
Finding an appropriate solution to address arsenic in raw water can be challenging for utilities. Studies have shown that when ingested in high concentrations, it is linked to cancer in the skin, lungs, bladder and kidney, and can cause significant skin changes, such as thickening and pigmentation, as well as other health issues. For this reason, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ...

Effective Techniques for Arsenic Removal from Water
Arsenic is a tricky substance because it is colorless and odorless, making detecting its presence and ensuring its removal at a contaminant site tricky. However, high levels of arsenic can have drastic, fatal effects on wildlife as well as humans if left untreated. If it isn’t properly and fully extracted, serious problems can result. If you’re considering the best industrial level ...

Arsenic removal from groundwater by ion exchange and adsorption processes: comparison of two different materials
Among the different technologies for reducing arsenic concentration in drinking water, adsorption has demonstrated in many cases to be superior in terms of performance and costs. However, there are numerous types of commercial adsorbents potentially capable of treating arsenic-contaminated groundwater. The present paper compares arsenic uptake efficiency of two different commercial media, one ...

Life cycle analysis of two Hungarian drinking water arsenic removal technologies
Determining a technology's merit as a solution to Hungarian drinking water arsenic contamination goes beyond technical concerns: environmental and economic aspects also play very important roles. In an effort to address the current arsenic drinking water requirements in Hungary, life cycle analysis (LCA) methodology was applied on two example arsenic removal technologies, ...

Project profile - USEPA Arsenic demonstration project Stewart, Minnesota arsenic and iron treatment system
Background AdEdge Technologies Inc. (AdEdge) was selected in 2004 by the U.S. EPA as part of the Round 2 Arsenic Demonstration Program to implement full scale arsenic treatment for the city of Stewart, Minnesota. This public water system serves a community of approximately 600 people with average daily demand of 60,000 gallons per day. AdEdge was selected from the proposed alternatives by the ...

Removal of arsenic and iron removal from drinking water using coagulation and biological treatment
Effects of biological activated carbon (BAC), biological aerated filter (BAF), alum coagulation and Moringa oleifera coagulation were investigated to remove iron and arsenic contaminants from drinking water. At an initial dose of 5 mg/L, the removal efficiency for arsenic and iron was 63% and 58% respectively using alum, and 47% and 41% respectively using Moringa oleifera. The removal of both ...

Comparative evaluation of As, Se and V removal technologies for the treatment of oil refinery wastewater
In this study, a broad range of readily deployable metal removal technologies were tested on a US refinery's wastewater to determine vanadium, arsenic and selenium removal performance. The bench-scale treatability studies were designed and performed so that test conditions could be as uniform as possible given the different mechanisms of action and engineering applications of each technology. The ...

Tracking disinfection by-products and arsenic removal during various drinking water treatment trains
In the central Banat region (Northern Serbia), groundwater is used as a drinking water source. Raw water originates from a 40–80 m and 100–150 m deep layer. It contains a high amount of natural organic matter (DOC = 9.17±0.87 mg C/L) with a trihalomethanes formation potential of 448±88.2 μg/L and a haloacetic acid formation potential of 174±68.9 μg/L. A high amount of arsenic (86.0±3.4 μg/L) is ...

Using Biological Filtration to Remove Arsenic from Drinking Water
In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency changed the standards for arsenic levels in drinking water. At that time, the agency had estimated that more than 36 million Americans were drinking water that contained arsenic levels at or above 3 parts per billion. A new standard was set, lowering the maximum contaminant level to 10 parts per billion (ppb) from the previous standard of 50 ppb. ...
