Arsenic (As) removal from drinking water is a significant
issue for many groundwater treatment facilities.
With the promulgation of the US Environmental
Protection Agency's Arsenic Rule, As removal has
become even more critical, especially for smaller facilities
constrained by limited budgets. With the development
of better technologies, new attention has been
focused on the coagulation/microfiltration (C/MF)
technique for As removal. This article demonstrates
how C/MF, once thought to be too cost-prohibitive,
especially for smaller facilities, is now cost-competitive,
as well as effective.
The authors provide specific information on the
application of C/MF technology. The pilot tests presented
show how microfilter membranes can be effectively
used to remove As with the addition of ferric
chloride and without excessive fouling of the
membrane. Includes 8 references, figures.
