4.3. Effect of adsorption
Adsorption of dissolved arsenic onto particulate phases has been
actively studied not only because of its pivotal role in determining As
concentrations and speciation in natural waters but as an important
remediation tool for arsenic removal in contaminated drinking water.
Iron oxides and hydroxides of a variety of composition and degree of
crystallinity are virtually ubiquitous in natural aqueous systems
and are known to play a major role in As geochemistry. Ferrihydrite
(approximately Fe2O3·2H2O), formed from the rapid precipitation of
Fe(III) from aqueous solution, is largely amorphous with a high
adsorptive surface area and is often used to simulate solid adsorption
surfaces in aquifers (Stollenwerk, 2003). While earlier studies of As
adsorption onto iron and aluminum oxyhydroxides found behavior
conforming to Langmuir isotherms (Ferguson and Anderson, 1974;
Anderson et al., 1976; Gupta and Chen, 1978), later work distinguished
between the adherence of both arsenite and arsenate to a
Langmuir isotherm at lower As concentrations (0.667–13.3 μM),
while at higher As concentrations (33.4–667 μM), linear adsorption
isotherms for arsenite and arsenate adsorption onto amorphous iron
hydroxide were found (Pierce and Moore, 1982). The observed
change in isothermadherencewith change in As concentration range
