JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:134991. [PMID: 38909473 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
This study developed a shell-like slow-release material, PF@ST/Fe-0.5, by encapsulating nanoscale zero-valent iron composites (NZC) with phosphate fertilizer (PF) and a starch binder (ST). The material dissolved in soil in stages, first releasing P and Ca to increase the soil pH from 4.95 to 7.14. This was followed by the formation of phosphates and hydroxides precipitates with Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd in soil, reducing their bioavailable forms by 81.73 %, 79.58 %, 91.05 %, and 86.47 %, respectively. The process also involved the competitive adsorption between PO43-/HPO42- and arsenate/arsenite led to the release of specifically adsorbed arsenic, increasing the probability of reaction with the material. Afterwards, the exposure of the NZC core reacted with arsenate/arsenite to form ferric arsenates, thus reducing the content of bioavailable arsenic in the soil by 73.57 %. Excess PO43- and alkali metal cations were captured and mineralized by the iron (hydro) oxides and reactive silicates in NZC, enhancing the remediation effect. Furthermore, the wet-dry alternation test had demonstrated the adaptability of PF@ST/Fe-0.5 to the rainy dry-wet soil environment in Yunnan, which enabled the bioavailable content of As, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd decreased by 71.2 %, 94.8 %, 84.1 %, 79.8 %, and 83.9 %, respectively. The layered structure minimized internal reactive substance consumption and protected the internal nZVI from oxidation. The phased release of phosphate and Fe0 stabilized Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd, enhancing As stabilization and providing a new perspective for the synchronous stabilization of soil contaminated.

Abstract
Groundwater contamination is a global concern that has detrimental effect on public health and the environment. Sustainable groundwater treatment technologies such as adsorption require attaining a high removal efficiency at a minimal cost. This study investigated the adsorption of arsenate from groundwater utilizing chitosan-coated bentonite (CCB) under a fixed-bed column setup. Fuzzy multi-objective optimization was applied to identify the most favorable conditions for process variables, including volumetric flow rate, initial arsenate concentration, and CCB dosage. Empirical models were employed to examine how initial concentration, flow rate, and adsorbent dosage affect adsorption capacity at breakthrough, energy consumption, and total operational cost during optimization. The ε-constraint process was used in identifying the Pareto frontier, effectively illustrating the trade-off between adsorption capacity at breakthrough and the cost of the fixed-bed system. The integration of fuzzy optimization for adsorption capacity and its total operating cost utilized the global solver function in LINGO 20 software. A crucial equation derived from the Box-Behnken design and a cost equation based on energy and material usage in the fixed-bed system was employed. The results from identifying the Pareto front determined boundary limits for adsorption capacity at breakthrough (ranging from 12.96 ± 0.19 to 12.34 ± 0.42 μg/g) and total operating cost (ranging from 955.83 to 1106.32 USD/kg). An overall satisfaction level of 35.46% was achieved in the fuzzy optimization process. This results in a compromise solution of 12.90 μg/g for adsorption capacity at breakthrough and 1052.96 USD/kg for total operating cost. Henceforth, this can allow a suitable strategic decision-making approach for key stakeholders in future applications of the adsorption fixed-bed system.

Abstract
As a notable toxic substance, metalloid arsenic (As) widely exists in water body and drinking As-contaminated water for an extended period of time can result in serious health concerns. Here, the performance of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) modified N-doped biochar (NBC) composites (nZVI@NBC) activated peroxydisulfate (PDS) for As(III) removal was investigated. The removal efficiencies of As(III) with initial concentration ranging from 50 to 1000 μg/L were above 99% (the residual total arsenic below 10 μg/L, satisfying the contaminant limit for arsenic in drinking water) within 10 min by nZVI@NBC (0.2 g/L)/PDS (100 μM). As(III) removal efficiency influenced by reaction time, PDS dosage, initial concentration, pH, co-existing ions, and natural organic matter in nZVI@NBC/PDS system were investigated. The nZVI@NBC composite is magnetic and could be conveniently collected from aqueous solutions. In practical applications, nZVI@NBC/PDS has more than 99% As(III) removal efficiency in various water bodies (such as deionized water, piped water, river water, and lake water) under optimized operation parameters. Radical quenching and EPR analysis revealed that SO4·- and ·OH play important roles in nZVI@NBC/PDS system, and the possible reaction mechanism was further proposed. These results suggest that nZVI@NBC activated peroxydisulfate may be an efficient and fast approach for the removal of water contaminated with As(III).

Abstract
In the context of growing arsenic (As) contamination in the world, there is an urgent need for an effective treatment approach to remove As from the environment. Industrial wastewater is one of the primary sources of As contamination, which poses significant risks to both microorganisms and human health, as the presence of As can disrupt the vital processes and synthesis of crucial macromolecules in living organisms. The global apprehension regarding As presence in aquatic environments persists as a key environmental issue. This review summarizes the recent advances and progress in the design, strategy, and synthesis method of various manganese-based adsorbent materials for As removal. Occurrence, removal, oxidation mechanism of As(III), As adsorption on manganese oxide (MnOx)-based materials, and influence of co-existing solutes are also discussed. Furthermore, the existing knowledge gaps of MnOx-based adsorbent materials and future research directions are proposed. This review provides a reference for the application of MnOx-based adsorbent materials to As removal.

Abstract
Dirty-acid wastewater (DW) originating from the non-ferrous metal smelting industry is characterized by a high concentration of H2SO4 and As. During the chemical precipitation treatment, a significant volume of arsenic-containing slag is generated, leading to elevated treatment expenses. The imperative to address DW with methods that are cost-effective, highly efficient, and safe is underscored. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of three typical methods to DW treatment, encompassing technical principles, industrial application flow charts, research advancements, arsenic residual treatment, and economic considerations. Notably, the sulfide method emerges as a focal point due to its minimal production of arsenic residue and the associated lowest overall treatment costs. Moreover, in response to increasingly stringent environmental protection policies targeting new pollutants and carbon emissions reduction, the paper explores the evolving trends in DW treatment. These trends encompass rare metal and sulfuric acid recycling, cost-effective H2S production methods, and strategies for reducing, safely disposing of, and harnessing resources from arsenic residue.

Metformin-modified polyethersulfone magnetic microbeads for effective arsenic removal from apatite soil leachate water. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 241:117627.

Abstract
Arsenic is the hazardous species and still is the global challenge in water treatment. Apatite soil is highly rich in arsenic species, and its mining presents various environmental issues. In this study, novel magnetic microbeads as adsorbent were developed for the elimination of hazardous arsenic ions from apatite soil's aqueous leachate before discharging into environment. The microbeads were fabricated with metformin polyether sulfone after being doped with zero-valent iron (Met-PES/ZVI). The microbeads were characterized using various techniques, including FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, VSM, and zeta potential analysis. The developed adsorbent demonstrated a significant elimination in arsenic in aqueous leachate, achieving 82.39% removal after 30 min of contact time, which further increased to 90% after 180 min of shaking. The kinetic analysis revealed that the pseudo-second-order model best represented the adsorption process. The intra-particle diffusion model indicated that the adsorption occurred in two steps. The Langmuir model (R2 = 0.991), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 188.679 mg g-1, was discovered to be the best fit for the experimental data as compared Freundlich model (R2 = 0.981). According to the thermodynamic outcome (ΔG < -20 kJ/mol), the adsorption process was spontaneous and involved physisorption. These findings demonstrate the potential of magnetic Met-PES/ZVI microbeads as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from apatite soil aqueous leachate.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution of water is a burning issue of today's world. Among several strategies involved for heavy metal remediation purpose, biomineralization has shown great potential. Of late, research has been focused on developing effective mineral adsorbents with reduced time and cost consumption. In this present paper, the Biologically-Induced Synthetic Manganese Carbonate Precipitate (BISMCP) was produced based on the biologically-induced mineralization method, employing Sporosarcina pasteurii in aqueous solutions containing urea and MnCl2. The prepared adsorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET surface area analyzer. EDX analysis showed the elements in the crystal BISMCP were Mn, C, and O. XRD result of BISMCP determined the crystal structure, which is close to rhodochrosite (MnCO3). Spectral peaks of FTIR at 1641.79 cm-1 confirmed the appearance of C[bond, double bond]O binding, with strong stretching of CO32- in Amide I. From the six kinds of BISMCP produced, sample MCP-6 has the higher specific surface area by BET analysis at 109.01 m2/g, with pore size at 8.76 nm and higher pore volume at 0.178 cm3/g. These specifications will be suitable as an adsorbent for heavy metal removal by adsorption process. This study presents a preliminary analysis of the possibility of BISMCP for heavy metals adsorption using ICP multi-element standard solution XIII (As, Cr, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn). BISMCP formed from 0.1 MnCl2 and 30 ml of bacteria volume (MCP-6) produced a better adsorbent material than others concentrations, with the adsorption efficiency of total As at 98.9%, Cr at 97.0%, Cu at 94.7%, Cd at 88.3%, Zn at 48.6%, and Ni at 29.5%. Future work could be examined its efficiency adsorbing individual heavy metals.

Abstract
It is challenging to separate the materials for treating arsenic contamination of soil and water from systems. The natural magnetite covered with Fe-Mn bimetallic (oxyhydr)oxide (Fe-Mn MSM) was effectively created in this study, and its potential use in removing As from water and soil was investigated. Batch adsorption studies showed that the As(V) adsorption on Fe-Mn MSM could achieve equilibrium after 120 min when the initial As(V) concentration was 39.85 mg/L. The calculated maximum adsorption of Fe-Mn MSM for As(V) was 17.94 mg/g at 20 °C. The mechanism of As(V) adsorption was confirmed to be a combination of ligand exchange and electrostatic attraction by the outcomes of FTIR analysis, SEM, and batch adsorption tests. Fe-Mn MSM can also be a successful amendment for cleaning up As-polluted soil. The 5% Fe-Mn MSM treatment group had the lowest exchangeable fraction of As (EX-As) concentration, 0.039 mg/kg (8.3% of initial EX-As), after 40 days. Magnetic separation could be used to quickly and completely recover the used Fe-Mn MSM from the soil. EX-As was present in higher concentrations on Fe-Mn MSM than that of the original soil. As a result, this work offers a strategy that may be put into practice to cheaply remove As from soil and water while also encouraging the reuse of natural magnetite.

Abstract
Groundwater is consumed by a large number of people as their primary source of drinking water globally. Among all the countries worldwide, nations in South Asia, particularly India and Bangladesh, have severe problem of groundwater arsenic (As) contamination so are on our primary focus in this study. The objective of this review study is to provide a viewpoint about the source of As, the effect of As on human health and agriculture, and available treatment technologies for the removal of As from water. The source of As can be either natural or anthropogenic and exposure mediums can either be air, drinking water, or food. As-polluted groundwater may lead to a reduction in crop yield and quality as As enters the food chain and disrupts it. Chronic As exposure through drinking water is highly associated with the disruption of many internal systems and organs in the human body including cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and endocrine systems, soft organs, and skin. We have critically reviewed a complete spectrum of the available ex situ technologies for As removal including oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane process. Along with that, pros and cons of different techniques have also been scrutinized on the basis of past literatures reported. Among all the conventional techniques, coagulation is the most efficient technique, and considering the advanced and emerging techniques, electrocoagulation is the most prominent option to be adopted. At last, we have proposed some mitigation strategies to be followed with few long and short-term ideas which can be adopted to overcome this epidemic.

Negative Impacts of Arsenic on Plants and Mitigation Strategies. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:plants12091815. [PMID: 37176873 PMCID: PMC10181087 DOI: 10.3390/plants12091815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a metalloid prevalent mainly in soil and water. The presence of As above permissible levels becomes toxic and detrimental to living organisms, therefore, making it a significant global concern. Humans can absorb As through drinking polluted water and consuming As-contaminated food material grown in soil having As problems. Since human beings are mobile organisms, they can use clean uncontaminated water and food found through various channels or switch from an As-contaminated area to a clean area; but plants are sessile and obtain As along with essential minerals and water through roots that make them more susceptible to arsenic poisoning and consequent stress. Arsenic and phosphorus have many similarities in terms of their physical and chemical characteristics, and they commonly compete to cause physiological anomalies in biological systems that contribute to further stress. Initial indicators of arsenic's propensity to induce toxicity in plants are a decrease in yield and a loss in plant biomass. This is accompanied by considerable physiological alterations; including instant oxidative surge; followed by essential biomolecule oxidation. These variables ultimately result in cell permeability and an electrolyte imbalance. In addition, arsenic disturbs the nucleic acids, the transcription process, and the essential enzymes engaged with the plant system's primary metabolic pathways. To lessen As absorption by plants, a variety of mitigation strategies have been proposed which include agronomic practices, plant breeding, genetic manipulation, computer-aided modeling, biochemical techniques, and the altering of human approaches regarding consumption and pollution, and in these ways, increased awareness may be generated. These mitigation strategies will further help in ensuring good health, food security, and environmental sustainability. This article summarises the nature of the impact of arsenic on plants, the physio-biochemical mechanisms evolved to cope with As stress, and the mitigation measures that can be employed to eliminate the negative effects of As.

Removal of arsenic from semiarid area groundwater using a biosorbent from watermelon peel waste. Heliyon 2023; 9:e13251. [PMID: 36825193 PMCID: PMC9941948 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Groundwater is one of the most important reservoirs in semi-arid and arid zones of the world, particularly in Mexico. The aims of this work were to produce a biosorbent from watermelon peel waste and a biosorbent with citric acid treatment and to evaluate both biosorbents with different concentrations of arsenic in groundwater. The biosorbents were produced with watermelon peel residues, which were observed by SEM microscopy to evaluate their physical morphology. Its removal potential was tested at concentrations of 0, 1, 13, 22, and 65 μg/L of arsenic, and both adsorption capacity and removal percentage were analyzed by final measurement obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry. The pH was measured throughout the experimentation maintaining ranges between 5.5 and 7.5. The biosorbent without treatment presented clearer and more compact flakes. At the microscopic level, the biosorbent without treatment presented pores with a more circular shape, and the biosorbent with treatment was more polygonal, similar to a honeycomb. The highest removal percentage was 99.99%, for both treatments at 4 h. The biosorbent without treatment at 4 h with arsenic concentrations of 65 μg/L presented the highest adsorption capacity (2.42 μg/g). It is concluded that watermelon peel biosorbent is a material that has the potential to remove arsenic from groundwater. This type of biosorbent is effective to remove arsenic and could be used in the field, however, it still needs to be optimized to convert it into a material completely suitable for large-scale use.

Optimization of Coagulation-Flocculation Process in Efficient Arsenic Removal from Highly Contaminated Groundwater by Response Surface Methodology. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27227953. [PMID: 36432053 PMCID: PMC9693969 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Elevated arsenic (As) contamination in water, especially groundwater, has been recognized as a major problem of catastrophic proportions. This work explores As(V) removal via the coagulation-flocculation process by use of ferric chloride coagulant and polyacrylamide k16 co-coagulant as a first time. The effects of major operating variables such as coagulant dosing (50, 125 and 200 mg/L), co-coagulant dosing (5, 12.5 and 20 mg/L), pH (6, 7and 8), fast mixing time (1, 2 and 3 min), and fast mixing speed (110, 200 and 300 rpm) on As(V) removal efficiency were investigated by a Box-Behnken statistical experiment design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM). According to factors F values, coagulant dosing, rapid mixing speed, pH, and co-coagulant dosing showed the most effect on As(V) removal efficiency, and the rapid mixing time factor indicated the slightest effect. The proposed quadratic model was significant with a p value < 0.0001 and has satisfactorily described the experimental data with R2 and adjusted R2 values of 0.9855 and 0.9738, respectively. Predicted model optimal conditions with target of complete As(V) removal were coagulant dosing = 197.63 ppm, co-coagulant dosing = 19.55 ppm, pH = 7.37, fast mixing time = 1.43 min and fast mixing speed = 286.77 rpm. The treatment of Nazarabad well water sample with an initial As(V) concentration of 5 mg/L under the optimal conditions removed 100% As(V) with the volume of produced sludge of 10.7 mL/200 mL. Increasing coagulant dosing, co-coagulant dosing, fast mixing time and fast mixing speed operation parameters from low-level to high-level values indicated 78%, 20%, 10.52% and 9.47% increases in volume of the produced sludge, respectively. However, a reduction of 13.63% in volume of the produced sludge resulted via pH increases.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 313:120155. [PMID: 36130632 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Iron-based materials have been widely investigated because of their high surface reactivity, which has shown potential for the remediation of metal(loid)s in groundwater. However, the disadvantages of structural stability and economic feasibility always limit their application in permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technology. In this study, zeolite-supported iron particles (Zeo-Fe) were synthesized by an innovative low-cost physical preparation method that is suitable for mass production. The removal efficiency and mechanism of typical metal(loid)s (Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr6+ and As3+) were subsequently investigated using various kinetic and equilibrium models and characterization methods. The results of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that zero valent iron (Fe0) and oxidation product (Fe3O4) were successfully loaded and efficiently dispersed on zeolite. The synthesized Zeo-Fe exhibited excellent adsorption and redox capacities for the cations Pb2+, Cd2+ and anions Cr6+, As3+. The increase in the pH resulting from Fe0 corrosion also enhanced the precipitation of Fe-metal(loid)s. The maximum removal capacity for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr6+ and As3+ was up to 70.00, 9.12, 2.35 and 0.36 mg/g, respectively. The removal processes were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for Pb2+ and Cd2+, Lagergren pseudo first-order kinetics model for As3+ and double phase first order kinetics model l for Cr6+. Cr6+ was rapidly reduced to Cr3+ by the Fe0 stabilized on Zeo-Fe, and the oxidation of As3+ to As5+ was attributed to the Fe0/Fe2+ oxidation process at the interface over time, which was further demonstrated by the mineral phase and element valence analyses of reacted Zeo-Fe. The removal mechanism for metal(loid)s was a combination of physical and chemical processes, including adsorption, co-precipitation and reduction-oxidation. Conclusively, Zeo-Fe has been shown to have potential as an effective and economical material for removing various metal(loid)s used in PRB.

Abstract
Human health has been seriously endangered by arsenic pollution in drinking water. In this paper, iron hydroxide nanopetalines were synthesized through a precipitation method using KBH4 and their performance and mechanism of As(V) and As(III) removal were investigated. The prepared material was characterized by SEM-EDX, XRD, BET, zeta potential and FTIR analyses. Batch experiments indicated that the iron hydroxide nanopetalines exhibited more excellent performance for As(V) and As(III) removal than ferrihydrite. The adsorption processes were very fast in the first stage, followed a relatively slower adsorption rate and reached equilibria after 24 h, and the reaction could be fitted best by the pseudo-second order model, followed by the Elovich model. The adsorption isotherm data followed to the Freundlich model, and the maximal adsorption capacities of As(V) and As(III) calculated by the Langmuir model were 217.76 and 91.74 mg/g at pH 4.0, respectively, whereas these values were 187.84 and 147.06 mg/g at pH 8.0, respectively. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. The removal efficiencies of As(V) and As(III) were significantly affected by the solution pH and presence of PO43- and citrate. The reusability experiments showed that more than 67% of the removal efficiency of As(V) could be easily recovered after four cycles. The SEM and XRD analyses indicated that the surface morphology and crystal structure before and after arsenic removal were stable. Based on the analyses of FTIR, XRD and XPS, the predominant adsorption mechanism was the formation of inner-sphere surface complexes by the surface hydroxyl exchange reactions of Fe-OH groups with arsenic species. This research provides a new strategy for the development of arsenic immobilization materials and the results confirm that iron hydroxide nanopetalines could be considered as a promising material for removing arsenic from As-contaminated water for their highly efficient performance and stability.

Abstract
The ability of organic ligands to change the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in nature and influence their adsorption efficiency for arsenic species is enormous. The current work was designed to investigate the adsorption performance of cerium-based MOFs with tunable structures through the use of organic ligands (Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808) towards arsenic species from water. The structural features of Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808 with varying crystallinity, morphology, particle size, and surface area are considerably altered by organic ligands tuning, resulting in clearly distinct arsenate (As (V)) and arsenite (As (III)) adsorption capabilities. The experimental results showed that the Langmuir adsorption capacities of As (V) by Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808 reached 355.67 and 217.80 mg/g, respectively, while for As (III) were 5.52 and 402.10 mg/g for Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808, respectively. Except for the impact of PO43- on As (V), co-existing ions had no significant influence on adsorption, illustrating the high selectivity. Furthermore, to understand the structure and adsorption mechanism, two adsorbents were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, specific surface area, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in which identified that unsaturated sites and ligand exchange were the main adsorption mechanisms of As (V) and As (III). Overall, this research presents a novel approach for developing high-performance Ce-derived MOFs adsorbents to capture arsenic species.

[PMID: 36078364 PMCID: PMC9518204 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191710649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic (As(III)), more toxic and with less affinity than arsenate (As(V)), is hard to remove from the aqueous phase due to the lack of efficient adsorbents. In this study, a core-shell structured MnO2@La(OH)3 nanocomposite was synthesized via a facile two-step precipitation method. Its removal performance and mechanisms for As(V) and As(III) were investigated through batch adsorption experiments and a series of analysis methods including the transformation kinetics of arsenic species in As(III) removal, FTIR, XRD and XPS. Solution pH could significantly influence the removal efficiencies of arsenic. The adsorption process of As(V) occurred rapidly in the first 5 h and then gradually decreased, whereas the As(III) removal rate was relatively slower. The maximum adsorption capacities of As(V) and As(III) were up to 138.9 and 139.9 mg/g at pH 4.0, respectively. For As(V) removal, the inner-sphere complexes of lanthanum arsenate were formed through the ligand exchange reactions and coprecipitation. The oxidation of As(III) to the less toxic As(V) by δ-MnO2 and subsequently the synergistic adsorption process by the lanthanum hydroxide on the MnO2@La(OH)3 nanocomposite to form lanthanum arsenate were the dominant mechanisms of As(III) removal. XPS analysis indicated that approximately 20.6% of Mn in the nanocomposite after As(III) removal were Mn(II). Furthermore, a small amount of Mn(II) and La(III) were released into solution during the process of As(III) removal. These results confirm its efficient performance in the arsenic-containing water treatment, such as As(III)-contaminated groundwater used for irrigation and As(V)-contaminated industrial wastewater.
