Lafayette College's Civil and Environmental Engineering Program is currently
developing a low cost, reliable, point-of-entry technology to remove arsenic from groundwater
sources of drinking water. The technology is a composite sorbent composed of iron hydroxide
and activated alumina iron; it has been named, "iron-enhanced activated alumina" (IEAA). The
IEAA has proven to successfully remove arsenic to levels below the maximum contaminant level
(MCL) of 10 parts per billion (ppb) recently established by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA). The research presented in this paper focuses on a better
understanding the surface characteristics of the IEAA involved in the removal of arsenic. Includes table, figures.
