Adsorption mechanism of arsenate by zirconyl-functionalized activated carbon
2007
Arsenate [As(V)] and arsenite [As(III)] sorption at the solid-water interface of activated carbon impregnated with zirconyl nitrate (Zr-AC) was investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and surface complexation modeling. The XAS data at the Zr K-edge suggest that the structure of the zirconyl nitrate coating is built from chains of edge-sharing ZrO8 trigonal dodecahedra bound to each other through two double hydroxyl bridges. The 8-fold coordination of each Zr atom is completed by four O atoms, which share a bit less than the two theoretically possible bidentate nitrate groups. On impregnation, two of the O atoms may lose their nitrate group and be transformed to hydroxyl group…
Determination of arsenic compounds in beverages by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
2005
Arsenic compounds including arsenous acid (As(III)), arsenic acid (As(V)), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) and monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). A Hamilton PRX-100 anionic-exchange column and a pH 8.5 K(2)HPO(4)/KH(2)PO(4) 5.0x10(-3)molL(-1) mobile phase were used to achieve arsenic speciation. The separation of arsenic species provided peaks of As(III) at 2.75min, DMA at 3.33min, MMA at 5.17min and As(V) at 12.5min. The detection limits, defined as three times the standard deviation of the lowest standard measurements, were found to be 0.2, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5ngmL(-1) f…
