Abstract:As(III) is the most common arsenic species in copper smelter wastewater but is difficult to remove, and an oxidation to As(V) is desirable. The oxidation of As(III) to As(V) in copper smelter wastewater was studied using in situ-generated ozone, which has a high oxidation capacity and does not create secondary contaminants. With the aim to determine adequate conditions for As(III) oxidation, experiments considering pH, ozonation time, and oxygen flow rate as variables were done. Experimental tests showed that … Show more
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.
