Arsenate and arsenite removal by zerovalent iron: kinetics, redox transformation, and implications for in situ groundwater remediation.

Batch tests were performed utilizing four zerovalent iron (Fe0) filings (Fisher, Peerless, Master Builders, and Aldrich) to remove As(V) and As(III) from water. One gram of metal was reacted headspace-free at 23 degrees C for up to 5 days in the dark with 41.5 mL of 2 mg L(-1) As(V), or As(III) or As(V) + As(III) (1:1) in 0.01 M NaCl. Arsenic removal on a mass basis followed the order: Fisher > Peerless Master Builders > Aldrich; whereas, on a surface area basis the order became: Fisher > Aldrich > Peerless Master Builders. Arsenic concentration decreased exponentially with time, and was below 0.01 mg L(-1) in 4 days with the exception of Aldrich Fe0. More As(III) was sorbed than As(V) by Peerless Fe0 in the initial As concentration range between 2 and 100 mg L(-1). No As(III) was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on Peerless Fe0 at 5 days when As(V) was the initial arsenic species in the solution. As(III) was detected by XPS at 30 and 60 days present on Peerless Fe0, when As(V) was the initial arsenic species in the solution. Likewise, As(V) was found on Peerless Fe0 when As(II) was added to the solution. A steady distribution of As(V) (73-76%) and As(III) (22-25%) was achieved at 30 and 60 days on the Peerless Fe0 when either As(V) or As(III) was the initial added species. The presence of both reducing species (Fe0 and Fe2+) and an oxidizing species (MnO2) in Peerless Fe0 is probably responsible for the coexistence of both As(V) and As(III) on Fe0 surfaces. The desorption of As(V) and As(III) by phosphate extraction decreased as the residence time of interaction between the sorbents and arsenic increased from 1 to 60 days. The results suggest that both As(V) and As(III) formed stronger surface complexes or migrated further inside the interior of the sorbent with increasing time.
