This analysis demonstrates effective arsenic adsorption using industrial waste in contaminated water, suggesting its viability for large-scale remediation efforts.
This study focuses on the removal of arsenic (As) from contaminated water originating from an abandoned mercury mine landfill. To obtain results that more accurately reflect the material’s behavior under real-world conditions, tests were conducted starting with agitation, followed by column tests, and subsequently channel tests. The results demonstrated high efficacy of industrial waste materials (FA, HA, and EA) in adsorbing As, with a significant reduction of this contaminant in the leachates. Practical applications of this methodology include its potential use in large-scale remediation projects, improving water quality in mining-affected areas, and contributing to sustainable waste management practices.
