Abstract
This article reviews different membrane processes for the removal of arsenic from groundwater. The source of arsenic and its toxic effects on human body are illustrated. Various membrane filtration processes like micro-filtration, nano-filtration, ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis are discussed. The materials used in different membrane techniques are highlighted towards the removal efficiency of arsenic from water. The influence of pH and coexisting ions on rejection efficiency towards the removal of arsenic of these different processes are studied. The constitution of membrane, rejection mechanism, merits and demerits of different membrane techniques and challenges involved therein are discussed. The future direction of research on membrane based technology is also highlighted in this review. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
Transactions of the Indian Ceramic Society is a quarterly Journal devoted to current scientific research, technology and industry-related news on glass and ceramics. The Journal covers subjects such as the chemical, mechanical, optical, electronic and spectroscopic properties of glass and ceramics, and characterization of materials belonging to this family.
The Editor invites original research papers, topical reviews, opinions and achievements, as well as industry profiles for publication. The contributions should be accompanied by abstracts, keywords and other details, as outlined in the Instructions for Authors section. News, views and other comments on activities of specific industries and organizations, and also analyses of industrial scenarios are also welcome.
