Abstract
Dissolved arsenic (III) contaminant is removed from mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid, by electrolysis using a high surface area cathode having a three-dimensional electrolyte-contacting surface which exposes the electrolyte to electrolysis for a relatively long period of time. The dissolved arsenic is reduced to arsenic metal, which then plates out on the cathode. Dissolved concentrations of arsenic of less than 1 ppm can be achieved using the invention.
