Abstract
A composite adsorbent MIR, manganese and iron (hydr)oxides coated resin, was prepared by coating manganese and iron (hydr)oxides onto the weak basic anion exchange resin D301. The effects of solution pH, contact time, ionic strength, and coexisting ions on arsenate removal with MIR were investigated in batch experiments. The results showed that As(V) can be effectively removed in a wide pH range of 4 ∼ 9. The presence of coexisting anions such as had no noticeable effect on arsenate removal efficiency. However, were found to interfere with the arsenate removal significantly. Arsenate adsorption efficiency decreased with the increment of ion strength of the solution. The adsorption isotherm could be well described by the Freundlich model. A pseudo second-order kinetics was able to provide a realistic description of the adsorption kinetics.
