TitleArsenate and arsenite removal from contaminated water by iron oxides nanoparticles formed inside a bacterial exopolysaccharide
Abstract[In the last decades, the presence of high As levels in groundwaters poses a serious limitation to the use of this resources for drinking purposes in several parts of the world. Treatment of As-rich waters selected iron oxides filters as more effective, low cost and selective technology. Green and biologically-driven pathways to synthetize new nanostructured iron oxy-hydroxides are becoming always more attractive. We tested the suitability of FeOOH nanoparticles (9-15 nm) produced by Klebsiella oxytoca strain DSM 29614 and encapsulated in EPS gel structure to treat arsenic rich water. Different gel:water volume ratios were tested to treat 5000 ?g As/L solution. 20% FeEPS solution was able to remove 95% of As(V) while in 5% solution removal was reduced to 60%. Arsenic adsorption was very fast and follows pseudo-2nd order kinetic with maximum adsorption capacity reached at about 30 min. Adsorption followed Langmuir model for As(V) with qmax=31.8 mgAs/gFe and BET for As(III) with 8 mgAs/gFe for the first layer in 10% FeEPS solution. FeEPS dried into powder showed noticeable removal only after 2 h, hence not suitable for drinking water treatment. Treatment of natural As levels in mimicked groundwaters showed 87-95% As(V) and 45-61% As(III) removal after 5 min. FeEPS gel immobilized onto bivalve shell debris was used in packed-bed filters. It retained 49.8 mgAs/gFe from 150 ?g/L As(V) spiked groundwater before reaching breakthrough at 8000 BVs. Biologically produced FeEPS gel showed good potentialities as eco-friendly material to remove As from contaminated groundwater.
