The sorption of inorganic arsenic species, As(III) and As(V), from water by sepiolite modified with hydrated iron(III) oxide was investigated at 25 ?C through batch studies. The influence of the initial pH value, the initial As concentrations, the contact time and types of water on the sorption capacity was investigated. Two types of water were used, deionized and groundwater. The maximal sorption capacity for As(III) from deionized water was observed at initial and final pH value 7.0, while the bonding of As(V) was observed to be almost pH independent for pH value in the range from 2.0 to 7.0, and the significant decrease in the sorption capacity was observed at pH values above 7.0. The sorption capacity at initial pH 7.0 was about 10 mg g?1 for As(III) and 4.2 mg g?1 for As(V) in deionized water. The capacity in groundwater was decreased by 40 % for As(III) and by 20 % for As(V). The Langmuir model and pseudo-second order kinetic model revealed good agreement with the experimental results. The results show that Fe(III)-modified sepiolite exhibits significant affinity for arsenic removal and it has a potential for the application in water purification processes.

Environmental Context.Most technologies for arsenic removal from water are based on the oxidation of the more toxic and more mobile arsenic(iii) to the less toxic and less mobile arsenic(v). As a result, research effort has been focussed on the oxidation of arsenic(iii) to arsenic(v). It is equally important to explore environmental factors that enhance the reduction of arsenic(v) to arsenic(iii). An understanding of the redox cycling of arsenic could result in the development of cheaper and more efficient arsenic removal technologies, especially for impoverished communities severely threatened by arsenic contamination. Abstract.The objective of this study was to investigate the reduction of inorganic arsenic(v) with Suwannee River fulvic acid (FA) in aqueous solutions where pH, [FA], [As(v)], [As(iii)], and [Fe(iii)] were independently varied. Samples of inorganic As(v) were incubated with FA in both light and dark at constant temperature. Sterilisation techniques were employed to ensure abiotic conditions. Aliquots from the incubated samples were taken at various time intervals and analysed for As(iii) using square-wave cathodic-stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The study demonstrated the following important aspects of As speciation: (1) FA can significantly reduce As(v) to As(iii); (2) reduction of As(v) to As(iii) is a function of time; (3) both dark and light conditions promote reduction of As(v) to As(iii); (4) Fe(iii) speeds up the reduction reaction; and (5) oxidation of As(iii) to As(v) is promoted at pH 2 more than at pH 6.

Arsenic (As) removal is of major significance because inorganic arsenic is highly toxic to all life forms, is a confirmed carcinogen, and is of significant environmental concern. As contamination in drinking water alone threatens more than 150 million people all over the world. Therefore, several conventional methods such as oxidation, coagulation, adsorption, etc., have been implemented for As removal, but due to their cost-maintenance limitations; there is a drive for advanced, low cost nanofiltration membrane-based technology. Thus, in order to address the increasing demand of fresh and drinking water, this review focuses on advanced nanofiltration (NF) strategy for As removal to safeguard water security. The review concentrates on different types of NF membranes, membrane fabrication processes, and their mechanism and efficiency of performance for removing As from contaminated water. The article provides an overview of the current status of polymer-, polymer composite-, and polymer nanocomposite-based NF membranes, to assess the status of nanomaterial-facilitated NF membranes and to incite progress in this area. Finally, future perspectives and future trends are highlighted.
