Efficient and fast arsenate removal from water by in-situ formed magnesium hydroxide
2024
Overview
MgO nanoparticles have good As-adsorption capacity in treating As-contaminated wastewater but suffer from high production cost. In this study, instead of using pre-formed MgO nanoparticles, we found that in-situ formed Mg(OH)
2
from MgCl
2
and NaOH reaction exhibited super high arsenate (As(V)) removal efficiency. Only 1.5 mmol/L of in-situ formed Mg(OH)
2
could remove more than 95% As(V) within 10 min to make the As contaminated water (10 mg-As(V)/L) meet the municipal wastewater treatment standard, whereas MgO nanoparticles failed. The Mg-As sludge has an amorphous crystal structure while no Mg(OH)
2
phase could be observed. As(V) existed uniformly within the sludge which was confirmed by elemental mapping. A precipitation-adsorption-coagulation mechanism might exist, which could relieve the restriction of limited surface area of solid MgO adsorbents. This study not only reveals an applicable method for efficient removal of trace level As(V) from water but also implies the huge potential of in-situ formed adsorbents in water treatment.
