Abstract
Significant aquifers around the world is contaminated by arsenic (As), that is regarded as a serious inorganic pollution. In this study, a biosorbent-based bio-filter column has been developed using two different plant biomasses (Colocasia esculenta stems and Artocarpus heterophyllus seeds) to remove total As from the aqueous system. Due to its natural origin, affordability, adaptability, removal effectiveness, and possibility for integration with existing systems, the biosorbent-based bio-filter column presents an alluring and promising method. It offers a practical and eco-friendly way to lessen the damaging impacts of heavy metal contamination on ecosystems and public health. In this system, As (III) is oxidized to As (V) using chlorine as an oxidant, after this post-oxidized As-contaminated water is passed through the bio-filter column to receive As-free water (or below World Health Organization permissible limit for As in drinking water). Optimization of inlet flow rate, interference of co-existing anions and cations, and life cycle of the column were studied. The maximum removal percent of As was identified to be 500 µg L−1 of initial concentration at a flow rate of 1.5 L h−1. Furthermore, the specifications of the biosorbent material was studied using elemental analysis and Zeta potential. The particle size distribution, morphological structures, and chemical composition before and after binding with As were studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX), and fourier's transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, respectively. SuperPro 10 software was used to analyze the techno-economic viability of the complete unit and determine its ideal demand and potential. Life cycle assessment was studied to interpret the environmental impacts associated alongside the process system. Therefore, this bio-filtration system could have a potential application in rural, urban, and industrial sectors.
