Arsenic and heavy metals present in wastewater were determined before and after treatment on the adsorbent column is significant science in Vietnam. In this study, we used the available natural materials, it is powdered and Fe (0) yellow sand, MnO2 powder under the granules used as adsorbent in the column. The survey materials were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These study showed that the material consists of magnetite Fe3O4 38.18 %, hematite Fe2O3 12.73 %, wuestite FeO 16.36 % of the beneficial minerals for the adsorption of heavy metals. The results showed that the material can remove As and some heavy metals out of the environment, in particular: arsenic adsorption capacity (169.65 mg/kg) and some metals such as Mn, Fe, Cu, Pb, Cd, respectively: 6616.05, 6664.24, 426.07, 143.06 and 120.21 mg/kg and maintained for a period of 4 days. This shows good potential applications of sand and iron powder Fe (0) in the treatment of heavy metal pollution by column adsorption method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
