from beach sand of Cox`s Bazaar, Bangladesh, to monitor their efficiency
in removing arsenic from contaminated water by column adsorption filtration
method in laboratory condition. It is observed that the prepared Iron
based Titanium dioxide composite (ITDO-1 and ITDO-2) can do remove 100%
both states of arsenic from the prepared 10 mg L-1 arsenic
solution up to the breakthrough volume (ITDO-1 at 3.1 L and ITDO-2 at
1.9 L, for 4 g of column material) in each case. Adsorbed arsenic is amounted
to 4871 mg kg-1 of composite ITDO-1 and removal efficiency
is found 72.46% up to the saturation volume (7.35 L) while the corresponding
figure for composite ITDO-2 is 6708 mg kg-1 of material with
an efficiency of 62.92% up to saturation volume (7.5 L). This study also
revealed that the residue (ITDO-3) left after the prepared ITDO-1 and
ITDO-2, exhibited least performance on removing arsenic.]]>Bang, S., M. Patel, L. Lippincott and X. Meng,200560389397Balaji, T. and H. Matsunaga,20021813451349Bhattacharaya, P., D. Chatterjee and G.
