Technologies for Removal of Arsenic from Water: An Overview
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 7, No 4 (2018) pp. 65-75
Abstract
Arsenic contamination in drinking water is a major global issue. Arsenicosis may be caused due to chronic consumption of arsenic-contaminated water. Economical and convenient removal of arsenic from water has remained a great challenge. The most commonly employed technologies for the removal of arsenic from water are coagulation and flocculation, filtration, membrane separation, ion exchange and adsorption. Nanotechnology has the potential to play an important role in providing clean water for human utilization. Solar oxidation and removal of arsenic (SORAS) is a very simple technique to bring down arsenic content from contaminated water.
