摘要
This study was conducted to investigate the arsenic removal efficiency of different adsorptive media from water. Different naturally occurring materials such as bauxite, plastic clay, plaster of Paris, lime, alum, and alumina etc. were used for the development of media to remove arsenic As+5 present in the artificially contaminated water. Different ratios of the selected materials were combined and ignited at 900 degrees C to enhance its arsenic removing efficiency. It was found that the media bauxite, plastic clay, lime (1: 1: 1) has a maximum removal (99%) of As+5 species from aqueous media and can be used on-site to reduce the arsenic contamination of potable water. Furthermore, the materials used in this experiment were cheaply and abundantly available within the country. The method is very simple and economically viable, for removal of arsenic from potable water.
