Abstract:
Endeavoring to mitigate and remedy Arsenic (As) in groundwater, we developed a one-step process for As(iii) oxidation and subsequent adsorption by using α-Fe 2O 3 under UV irradiation. The α-Fe 2O 3 with high surface area was successfully prepared through a mild hydrothermal reaction using Jarosite waste as precursor. During the treatment of As(iii) in aqueous solution, the as-obtained α-Fe 2O 3 can release ferric ions stimulated by UV irradiation. This led to the effective oxidation of As(iii) to As(v) which is further adsorbed on α-Fe 2O 3, realizing the removal of As from water. This simple and efficient route may be potential for the remediation of polluted water containing As ions. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
