Arsenic Removal in Aqueous System to Synthesized, Characterized Thiol and Sulfonium Integrated Starch Biopolymer: An Innovative Approach
Author(s): Vishal Priya*
The contamination of arsenic groundwater is the most serious global concern and responsibility for the death rate per year. Complete removal of arsenic through the conventional method is very difficult and cost consuming. We have synthesized the starch thiomer, sulfonium starch and iron immobilized starch derivatives for the removal of As (III) and As (V) from the aqueous system. The batch experiments were performed as a function of initial As (III) and As (V) concentrations, contact time and pH values. The results supported a little preferential sorption for As (V) (95%) in comparison to As (III) (92%) via thiomer, while sulfonium structure showed similar affinity for As (III) and As (V) sorption (92.7% for As (III) and 93% for As (V)) at pH 5.0. The present study also supported that synthesized thiomer and sulfonium structure are selective to arsenic and only marginal effec.. Read More»
