Arsenic removal during conventional aluminium-based drinking-water treatment.
Wat. Res. 35(7)1659-1664.
Abstract: "The changing forms and concentrations of arsenic through aluminium-based coagulation treatment processes were tracked forthree drinking-water treatment plants. This has provided direct evidenceof where and how arsenic is removed. In general, soluble As(V) is convertedto particulate As(V) by adsorption during rapid mixing, and is removed alongwith naturally-occurring particulate arsenic predominantly by clarification.Soluble As(III) tracks through the treatment processes and is converted tosoluble As(V) during final chlorination. The ability of a water treatmentprocess to achieve the maximum acceptable concentration for arsenic in drinkingwater is dependent on the concentration of As(III) in the source water."

The stability of iron phases presently used for disposal frommetallurgical systems - A review
[Review] Minerals Engineering. 13(8-9):911-931,2000 Aug.
Abstract:
The current phases used for the disposal of iron and arsenical wastes, jarosite and scorodite, are examined from a thermodynamic viewpoint using critically assessed data. For scorodite,it is demonstrated that the differences in the solubility reported in theliterature are due to starting phases of differing crystallinity. Contour plots of solubility vs pH and activity are presented for both scorodite and jarosite and show that the minimum solubility is achieved for pH 4-7 However, neither phase is stable towards transformation to goethite withscorodite only stable below pH 4 and jarosite below pH 7 The practicalitiesand implications of the disposal of these phasesis discussed and recommendations for future disposal options are made.(C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The effect of solution speciation on iron-sulphur-arsenic-chloridesystems at 298 K
Hydrometallurgy. 57(3):209-223, 2000 Oct.
Abstract:
The speciation in solution of a number of metallurgically importantiron-bearing systems are calculated from critically reviewed data. In acidicsolution, Fe2+ and Fe3+ are the predominantiron species, although ferric ion hydrolyses to Fe(OH)(2)(+) above pH 2.For sulphate and arsenate, HSO4- and H3AsO4 predominate up to pH similar to 2 where deprotonation occurs and sulphateand dihydrogen arsenate ions become predominant. For arsenite, the major species is H3AsO3 for all acidic pH. In ferric systems where complexinganions are present, the situation is somewhat different, although all systemsare substantially dependent upon the concentrationof the anions. In the presence of arsenate and sulphate, ferric ion readilycomplexes to form charged anions, arsenate complexesbeing more favourable than sulphate in mixed solutions. Chloride playsonly a minor role with complexation only occurring at concentrations close to unity. The importance of the solution speciationis discussed with reference to both leaching of iron minerals and in oxidative leaching using ferric ions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
