ARSENIC REMOVAL FROM DRINKING WATER BY SELECTIVE HYBRID ADSORBENTS
Hybrid adsorbents for arsenic selective removal from drinking water have been analyzed. The interference of other ions, namely silicate, with arsenate during the adsorption process, resulting in a significant reduction of capacity for arsenic uptake. There was found a way to increase capacity to a higher level after repeated conventional regeneration of the adsorbent. Practical procedure has been developed and tested for the removal of arsenic on a household scale.
