Coagulation of trace arsenic and cadmium from drinking water using titanium potassium oxalate

Overview
Coagulation is a simple and cost-effective water treatment method that does not work well in removing multiple cationic and anionic heavy metals simultaneously from drinking water. Titanium potassium oxalate (K

), a fur tanning reagent, was found to be able to efficiently remove arsenite (As(III)), arsenate (As(V)), and Cd simultaneously. A dose of 120 µmol/L K

could remove more than 90% of As and Cd to meet the drinking water standards when their initial concentrations were 10 times their maximum concentration limits, whereas traditional coagulants, such as Fe

reacted with natural calcium ions in drinking water to form calcium oxalate, while residual titanium was hydrolyzed with water to form hydrous titanium oxide. Arsenic was removed primarily via complexation with hydrous titanium oxide, while Cd was removed via the combined effect of adsorption by hydrous titanium oxide and mixed-crystal formation by calcium oxalate. This study provides an efficient coagulant for removing multiple heavy metals simultaneously, which can be applied in water treatment to provide safe and healthy drinking water.
