Excerpt
Excerpt: There are several methods for removing inorganic arsenic from water. Many take advantage of the strong bond that forms between arsenic and iron. Now Littleton, Colorado?based ADA Technologies, through funding from the NIEHS Superfund Basic Research Program, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the state of Colorado, has gone a step farther in capitalizing on that characteristic with a new class of amended silicate sorbents that remove even more arsenic from water, and do it more easily and more cheaply. ADA is also working with researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and Old Dominion University to study the interaction between arsenic species and iron oxide?based media, and is collaborating with other partners to develop low-cost approaches for quantifying the concentration of arsenic in drinking water.
