This study evaluated the feasibility of Granular Ferric Hydroxide
(GFH) for bromate removal from water. Batch experiments were performed to study the
influence of various experimental parameters such as effect of contact time, temperature
and effect of competing anions on bromate removal by GFH. The adsorption kinetics data
indicate that the uptake rate of bromate was rapid in the beginning and 75% adsorption was
completed in 5 min and equilibrium was achieved within 20 min. The adsorption data
conform best to the Langmuir model. Results of the present study suggest that GFH can
be effectively utilized for bromate removal from drinking water. Includes 20 references, tables, figures.
