Abstract

Arsenic is a kind of substance with high toxicity. Arsenic pollution exists in the drinking water of rural areas, which would be harmful for human health. Based on adsorption methods, this article designed a water treatment system to remove arsenic from drinking water in the rural areas. The water treatment system uses a stabilized waste material as the adsorption material to meet the need for dispersed drink water and promote environmental stewardship. The result indicated that the adsorption-based system with desirable properties is a simple, easily maintained and energy efficient system for the removal of arsenic from drinking water in rural areas.
