This article is a comprehensive study of the effectiveness
of several arsenic (As) oxidizing agents and
will be of use to utilities needing to oxidize arsenite
[As(III)] before removal. As(III) is a form of As
poorly removed by most removal technologies, but can
be efficiently removed using common oxidants such as
chlorine, permanganate, and ozone.
The authors undertook this research in response
to an acute lack of information on the effectiveness
of commonly used oxidants under various environmental
conditions for As(III) oxidation. This
research may help utilities meet regulatory compliance
for arsenic by converting As(III)-contaminated
waters to a form readily removed by most treatment
technologies. Utilities can directly apply the information
in this article by choosing an appropriate
oxidant based on the composition of their source
water. Includes 20 references, tables, figures.
