Technologies for removal of Arsenic from wastewater
Author(s): S Sophie Beulah
Abstract: Availability of clean water has become a major concern worldwide. Arsenic, one of the most toxic element exists in organic as well as inorganic forms with varying valence states, As(III), As(V) and As(0). Chronic arsenic exposure has devastating health effects like cardiovascular diseases, cancer and eventual death. Water pollution due to Arsenic has focussed attention on its decontamination. This paper presents a review of the available technologies used for the removal of arsenic species from water. Conventionally applied techniques to remove arsenic species include oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, membrane techniques and nanoparticles for the remediation of contaminated water.
