Possible treatments for arsenic removal in Latin American waters for human consumption
TL;DR: Methods for arsenic removal suitable to be applied in Latin American waters are summarized and commented, and emphasis is made in emergent decentralized economical methods as the use of inexpensive natural adsorbents, solar light technologies or biological treatments, as essential to palliate the situation in poor, isolated and dispersed populations of Latin American regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging mitigation needs and sustainable options for solving the arsenic problems of rural and isolated urban areas in Latin America - a critical analysis
Jochen Bundschuh,Marta I. Litter,Virginia S. T. Ciminelli,María E. Morgada,Lorena Cornejo,Sofia Garrido Hoyos,Jan Hoinkis,Ma. Teresa Alarcón-Herrera,María Aurora Armienta,Prosun Bhattacharya +9 more
TL;DR: Emerging, low-cost technologies to mitigate the problem of arsenic in drinking water resources that are suitable for rural and urban areas lacking centralized water supplies have been evaluated and TiO(2)-heterogeneous photocatalysis and zerovalent iron appear to be promising emergent technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic (V) removal with nanoparticulate zerovalent iron: Effect of UV light and humic acids
María E. Morgada,Ivana K. Levy,Vanesa Natalia Salomone,Silvia S. Farías,Gerardo Daniel López,Marta I. Litter +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, results on As(V) removal in the presence of oxygen using the zerovalent iron technology with commercial iron nanoparticles (NanoFe ® ) are presented, showing the effect of nanoFe ® mass, UV light and addition of humic acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic degradation of citric acid under different conditions: TiO2 heterogeneous photocatalysis against homogeneous photolytic processes promoted by Fe(III) and H2O2
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of citric acid (Cit) at relatively high concentrations by photocatalysis over TiO2 under air bubbling and near UV-light was tested under different conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
