Magnetite particles were synthesized by co-precipitation method from the mill-scale and characterized with FTIR, SEM, EDS and XRD. The proficiency of magnetite particles for arsenate removal is determined with batch adsorption experiments and various types of continuous reactors including column reactor fed from bottom to top, column reactor fed from top to bottom and plug…
Hundreds of millions of people in the world regularly intake groundwater that has a high-risk arsenic level. In several parts of Asia, the arsenic concentration reaches up to μ, which is above the drinking water standards of the World Health Organization (μ). The present study discusses the arsenic removal from groundwater using a mixed-valent iron…
This study focuses on the optimization and application of mill scale–derived magnetite particles for the adsorptive removal of arsenic (As) from groundwater. The reverse coprecipitation method is applied to synthesize the magnetite from the mill scale, a byproduct of the iron and steel industry. The independent variables (initial As concentration, pH, contact time, and adsorbent…
