“…From the variety of the adsorbents studied by workers, the use of macro porous organic polymer supports, with a high surface area and good mechanical stability, is found more suitable for the removal of toxic elements from dilute solution, due to their faster kinetics, ease of regeneration and high adsorption capacity [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In this study the Amberlite XAD8 resin was impregnated, through the most widely used method (dry method), with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA) [11][12][13][14]. Because the iron compounds in general were found to be very efficient adsorbents for arsenic removal from water due to the high affinity of arsenic towards iron, the XAD8-DEHPA was loaded with Fe(III) ions [2, 3, 6-10, 13, 14].…”
