Abstract
Arsenic liberation and accumulation in the groundwater environment are both affected by the presence of primary ions and soluble organic matter. The most important influencing role in the co-occurrence is caused by human activity, which includes logging, agricultural runoff stream, food, tobacco, and fertilizers. Furthermore, it covers a wide range of developed and emerging technologies for removing arsenic impurities from the ecosystem, including adsorption, ion exchangers, bio sorption, coagulation and flocculation, membrane technology and electrochemical methods. This review thoroughly explores various arsenic toxicity to the atmosphere and the removal methods involved with them. To begin, the analysis focuses on the general context of arsenic outbreaks in the area, health risks associated with arsenic, and measuring techniques. The utilization of innovative functional substances such as graphite oxides, metal organic structures, carbon nanotubes, and other emerging types of composite materials, as well as the ease, reduced price, and simple operating method of the adsorbent material, are better potential alternatives for arsenic removal. The aim of this article is to examine the origins of arsenic, as well as identification and treatment methods. It also addressed recent advancements in Arsenic removal using graphite oxides, carbon nanotubes, metal organic structures, magnetic nano composites, and other novel types of usable materials. Under ideal conditions for the above methods, the arsenic removal will achieve nearly 99% in lab scale.
