Recent developments of magnetic nanoadsorbents for remediation of arsenic from aqueous stream

Abstract

One of the emerging environmental concerns is the high levels of arsenic ions found in groundwater and other water sources. Decontaminating water that contains arsenic is crucial for environmental and health reasons. Nano-adsorbents have gained much interest recently for the adsorptive removal of arsenic species from wastewater. On the other hand, for their prospective use in natural water treatment, current nano-adsorbents must be separated from treated fluids. Researchers studied nanocomposite iron oxide-based adsorbents to overcome these problems and to design effective sorbents for removing arsenic. This study provides a summary of current developments in the field of magnetic nanoadsorbents for the removal of various arsenic compounds from wastewater. Adsorption of arsenic from groundwater has been found to be very promising for magnetic nanoadsorbents. In order to eliminate arsenic from the aqueous phase, magnetic nanocomposite adsorbents may offer practical and affordable water purification solutions.
