Adsorption of As(V) and As(III) from aqueous solution by lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) nanoparticle

The adsorption of γ-FeOOH for As (V) and As(III) could be competed by some other ion such as sulfate, ammonium and chloride. The high adsorption capability and good performance on other aspects make the γ-FeOOH nanorod a promissing adsorbent for the removal of As (V) and As(III) from the groundwater.
