Arsenic Iii Oxidation And Removal From Drinking Water

The recently lowered arsenic maximum contaminant level (MCL) presents new challenges in the monitoring and treatment capabilities of drinking water utilities. This report provides advice to utilities and consultants as they monitor, make treatment modifications to control arsenic, and explain arsenic issues to the public. It overviews research on arsenic in drinking water with respect to health issues, occurrence, monitoring and treatment, and reviews the major treatment processescoagulation, lime softening, iron-manganese removal, ion exchange, activated alumina, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, and augmented micro- or ultrafiltration.

A prevalent and increasingly important issue, arsenic removal continues to be one of the most important areas of water treatment. Conventional treatment plants may employ several methods for removing arsenic from water. Commonly used processes include oxidation, sedimentation, coagulation and filtration, lime treatment, adsorption onto sorptiv
