    Journal: Environ Technol; 2012; 33(13-15):1553-9. PubMed ID: 22988615.
    Abstract:
    In this study, as a novel technique for the simultaneous treatment of As(III) and phenol in a single column reactor, different ratios of manganese-impregnated activated carbon (Mn-AC) and iron-impregnated activated carbon (Fe-AC) were applied in a bench-scale column reactor. In this bench-scale test, the column system packed with both Mn-AC and Fe-AC (binary system) was identified as the best system due to the good oxidation efficiency of As(III) to As(V) by Mn-AC, which reasonably controlled the mobility of total arsenic through adsorption of As(V), along with efficient removal of phenol . When the pilot-scale column reactor, packed with equal amounts of Mn-AC and Fe-AC, was applied for the removal of As(III) and phenol, the oxidation of As(III) by 1 g of Mn-AC for up to 110 days and the removal of phenol by total 1 g of Mn-AC and Fe-AC for up to 100 days were 1.81 x 10(-4) g and 8.20 x 10(-4) g, respectively. Based on this work, Fe-AC and Mn-AC can be regarded as a promising filter material in the treatment of wastewater contaminated with organic compounds, such as phenol, and redox-sensitive ions, such as As(III).
