Abstract

The use of elemental iron (nano and microparticles) for the removal of aqueous arsenic
species and its speciation by HPLC-ICPMS, was evaluated. The nanoparticles were
obtained by reacting of ferric chloride with sodium borohydride and, the microparticles
were commercial iron powder. The experiments were carried out for As(III), DMAs(V) and
As(V), individually and in mixture, at different times and were analyzed by HPLC-ICPMS.
The results show, that both forms of elemental iron, contribute the decrease in the initial
concentration of As(III) and As(V) by increasing the contact time, obtaining greater
changes in the presence of nanoparticles (99,9 %, 240 min) with adsorption capacity
(< 499,5 µg/g). For DMAs(V) there were not significant changes in its initial concentration.
This demonstrates the feasibility of elemental iron to remove some aqueous arsenic
species and, that the values depend on the chemical composition of arsenic, it may be
viable for inorganic species.
