Arsenic removal technology, its advantages and disadvantages. •. Adsorption and use of functional materials hold better prospects for arsenic removal. Abstract. Arsenic contamination has been widely recognized as one of the most consequential environmental pollutants due to its anthropogenic activities.
The new Arsenic Rule applies to all community water systems (CWSs) and non-transient non-community water systems (NTNCWSs) (40 CFR 141.62(b)). The MCL will remain at 50 ppb until January 22, 2006. On January 23, 2006, the revised MCL of 10 ppb (mg/L) becomes enforceable (40 CRF 141.6(j)).

1 – Activated carbon. Activated carbon adsorption is a water treatment technology that uses charcoal to remove contaminants from water. While activated carbon is effective at removing many contaminants, it is not effective at removing arsenic from drinking water. This is because arsenic has a very low affinity for carbon's pores.
Iron molecules have strong affinity with inorganic arsenic species. Thus, iron is a very good adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from the wastewater. Arsenic species can be removed by iron and it can act as adsorbent and co-precipitant or can cause pollutant immobilization (Mondal et al. 2013 ).
