    • At present, there is a great interest in studying new sorbent materials for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions because of its high toxicity and adverse effects on human health. In previous research, sorghum biomass was found to be an efficient and economic sorbent for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions. In this investigation, the effects of CaCl2, MgCl 2, FeSO4, MgSO4, Fe(NO3) 3, and humic substances (peat moss, humin and humic acids) on arsenic binding to sorghum biomass were evaluated. Among these compounds, only iron salts were found to positively increase the sorption of arsenic to sorghum biomass. In addition, the sorption equilibrium was reached faster when the reaction mixture contained iron salts. However, an overall reduction of 21% of arsenic sorption to sorghum biomass was observed in the presence of MgSO 4. This interference may be due to the presence of sulfate ions, instead of the hard cations, that could be in competition with As for the same interaction sites or ligands. Peat moss, humins and humic acid, extracted from sphagnum peat moss, significantly decreased the arsenic sorption to sorghum biomass.

  • Characteristics of arsenic adsorption to sorghum biomass

  • In: Journal of Hazardous Materials. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-3336 .- 0304-3894. ; 145:1-2, s. 30-35

    • The development of efficient and economic new adsorbent materials for the removal of arsenic from groundwater is a priority in regions where human health is directly affected by elevated arsenic concentrations. Adsorption of arsenic on sorghum biomass (SB) was investigated for the removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions. Potentiometric titrations and FTIR analysis evidenced two potential binding sites associated with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the equilibrium time for arsenic adsorption to SB. The effect of pH on arsenic adsorption to SB was investigated for a pH range of 2.0-10.0. A strong influence of pH was demonstrated with a maximum removal of arsenic at pH 5.0. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were applied to equilibrium data. The Freundlich model fitted the equilibrium data and provided evidence for site heterogeneity at the binding surface. Column experiments were performed to obtain the breakthrough curves for both non-immobilized sorghum biomass and immobilized sorghum biomass.
