GaP Seminar - Binding Affinity of Arsenic Oxo-Acids onto the Fe-O Surface of Nanoparticles

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:

There are increasing interests in the removal arsenic from water through the utilization of iron’s affinity for arsenic oxo-ions.  Nano-size iron oxides including goethite, lepidocrocite, maghemite, magnetite and hematite have been synthesized and characterized systematically.  These nanoparticles were exposed to arsenic solutions to measure the percent uptake of arsenic by each phase of iron oxides. The efficiency and feasibility of arsenic removal using iron oxides nanoparticles will be discussed.
