Dec 22 2015 · However the pH of the water and the presence of other ions are major factors affecting the efficiency of this arsenic immobilization This can be a disadvantage of this technique especially when dealing with arsenite removal as this arsenic form has a neutral charge in the pH range of 4–10 50

Arsenic in Private Well Water FAQs What you need to know about the possibility of arsenic in your well water Arsenic is a naturally occurring contaminant in some groundwater in Massachusetts usually in bedrock aquifers in the central part of the state and in the Merrimack River Valley

• A large source of total arsenic comes from the food we eat However most of the arsenic in food is in an organic carboncontaining form whichis much less harmful than the inorganic arsenic found primarily in groundwater Some foods also contain inorganic arsenic but the main exposure to inorganic arsenic is normally from consuming water

Several studies have shown that the level of arsenic As removal is directly related to the amount of coagulant used but the coagulant dose required to meet specific arsenic As removal objectives depends on the initial quality and pH of the source water Effective doses of ferric chloride range from 5

Arsenic Removal in Groundwater Arsenic is naturally occurring in groundwater in both the arsenite and arsenate forms Found in rocks soil water air and biota arsenic’s natural concentrations in soil typically range from 01 to 40 mgkg

The capacity for arsenic removal by AA is pH dependent If the pH range deviates from the range pH 50 60 the adsorption capacity for arsenic decreases at an increasing rate If operating in a regeneration mode liquid waste is produced from the backwash caustic regeneration neutralization and rinse steps

If arsenic III is present it must be oxidized to arsenic V to improve removal and a pH correction may be necessary for the coagulant to work in its optimum range This method can remove 90 of the arsenic but the investment in equipment and the space required for the plant are limiting factors
