Abstract

In the arena of eco-toxicological world, Arsenic pollution is a matter of alarming concern. Intake of arsenic contaminated water having concentration above the permissible limit causes Arsenic poisoning in living beings. In the present study, a batch mode lab. experiment was done using adsorption technology. Here, engineered carbon (EC) was used for remediation of arsenic from water/waste water. A significant amount of Arsenic is removed by adsorption on to EC. The parameters like pH, contact time, temperatures etc. are studied to find out the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent – engineered carbon (EC).

 

Key words: Arsenic, engineered carbon, remediation, water/waste water.
