This slide presentation outlines a new adsorptive technology based on lanthanum
chemistry that yields
more cost effective results, and
additional improvements in stability of adsorbed
arsenic in acidic and alkaline environments. NXT-2 characteristics are listed along with comparative technology performance
test results and pilot column performance
test results. Results conclude that Lanthanum Technology
is cost effective because it gives
maximum removal efficiency and
operates over a wide pH range without pH adjustment. Also, Lanthanum Technology
reduces system complexity and cost,
reduces operator requirements, and
does not require chlorination to remove As III- efficiently
removes both.
Lanthanum Technology is safe because it is
less likely to release bound arsenic in the event of pH
upset, and
reduces handling of acidic solutions required for pH
adjustment. Includes tables, figures.
