Arsenic contamination, consequences and remediation techniques: a review

TL;DR: An attempt has been made in this paper to review As contamination, its effect on human health and various conventional and advance technologies which are being used for the removal of As from soil and water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic and antimony in water and wastewater: overview of removal techniques with special reference to latest advances in adsorption

TL;DR: An overview of As and Sb chemistry, distribution and toxicity, which are relevant aspects to understand and develop remediation techniques are presented, and several alternative sorbents have been presenting promising results.

Arsenic and fluoride contaminated groundwaters: A review of current technologies for contaminants removal.

TL;DR: This review critically analyzes this important issue of chronic contamination of groundwaters by both arsenic (As) and fluoride (F) and considers strategies for their removal and safe disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic contamination of groundwater: a review of sources, prevalence, health risks, and strategies for mitigation.

TL;DR: The paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art knowledge on the alternative As free drinking water and various technologies (oxidation, coagulation flocculation, adsorption, and microbial) for mitigation of the problem of As contamination of groundwater.

Science and technology for water purification in the coming decades

TL;DR: Some of the science and technology being developed to improve the disinfection and decontamination of water, as well as efforts to increase water supplies through the safe re-use of wastewater and efficient desalination of sea and brackish water are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the source, behaviour and distribution of arsenic in natural waters

TL;DR: The scale of the problem in terms of population exposed to high As concentrations is greatest in the Bengal Basin with more than 40 million people drinking water containing ‘excessive’ As as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic removal from water/wastewater using adsorbents—A critical review

TL;DR: Strong acids and bases seem to be the best desorbing agents to produce arsenic concentrates, and some commercial adsorbents which include resins, gels, silica, treated silica tested for arsenic removal come out to be superior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of arsenic(V) and arsenic(III) sorption onto iron oxide minerals: implications for arsenic mobility.

TL;DR: The sorption data indicate that, under most of the chemical conditions investigated in this study, reduction of As(V) in the presence of HFO or goethite would have only minor effects on or even decrease its mobility in the environment at near-neutral pH conditions.
