ARSENIC
TREATMENT
There are many
ways to treat arsenic but most rely on converting all of the arsenic
to a valence of +5 (some will be +3) which is easier to remove.
The technologies for removal include adsorption on alumina, reverse
osmosis membrane separation, ion exchange, or lime softening.
Alumina may have a problem with progressive loss of capacity and
may be suitable for only a few cycles.
Standard treatments
oxidize any trivalent arsenic with peroxide, permanganate, ultraviolet
light, or other oxidizer followed by precipitation, filtration,
etc. as above. UV light and titanium oxide have improved oxidization
efficiencies for other compounds but I haven't seen any data on
arsenic yet.
The following links
will take you to sites that review the basic treatment technologies.
Each source (your water) should be analyzed and specific treatments
tested before you invest in a system.
