Abstract:
Arsenic (At.no:33) occurs as a metalloid and is positioned in group no.VA. As useful the element might be, it serves for the presence of threats to human health and the environment as well. Although silvery white in colour, the presence of this element does not show any characteristic properties in its dissolved stage in case of water. Hence, it becomes all the more important in order to study its properties, accordingly work out an effective plan for the prevention of health disorders and also test for the presence of arsenic in groundwater or fresh water bodies like lakes and ponds in its nascent stages. Arsenic may potentially occur in both of its trivalent (As+3) or it’s pentavalent form (As+5), the former being relatively more difficult to remove. Once the consumed water having dissolved arsenic gets in contact with human skin or organs, it may cause blisters, skin deformations and even fatal diseases like cancer. Removal methods may include Chemical precipitation-coagulation/flocculation, Fixed bed adsorption, Ion exchange, Membrane filtration, Phytoremediation and Electro coagulation.
