Abstract

Processes for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions such as contaminated waters and process solutions are disclosed. Arsenic is removed from process solutions/effluents either by precipitation with a soluble iron compound, or solvent extraction and subsequent treatment with engineered materials, such as granular iron oxide. Arsenic may also be directly removed from arsenic contaminated ground and/or surface waters using engineered materials, especially by contacting ground and/or surface waters with silica, granular iron oxide and optionally natural zeolite in sequence. The treated solutions/effluents and waters may be released into the environment.
