It is easily oxi-dized under hypergene conditions to release Fe, As, S and other elements. Of the released elements, dissolved arsenic is an extremely toxic element. It is of particular importance to study arsenopyrite and the conversion of As species for environmental protection. This paper deals with the stability of arsenopyrite and As(III) in acidic Fe2(SO4)3 and FeCl3 solutions with the concentrations within the range of 10-2—10-5 mol·kg-1. Experimental researches revealed the following points: (1) under the conditions of the experiment arsenopyrite is unstable and its oxi-dation extent tends to increase with increasing Fe3+ concentration and reaction temperature and decreasing pH; (2) arsenic released during the oxidation of arsenopyrite is dominated by hydrous oxides of As(III); (3) in the FeCl3 solution the oxidation rate of arsenopyrite and As(III) toward As(V) is faster than in the Fe2(SO4)3; and (4) the stability of As(III) tends to increase with de-creasing oxidant concentration and reaction temperature, but to decrease with increasing Cl- concentration and illuminance.展开更多

The effects of Cu/Ce elements co-doping on the crystal structure, catalytic oxidation and adsorption behaviors of magnetic microspheres were researched systematically. The results showed that with the aid of Cu/Ce elements, the grain size reduced, lattice defects increased, and the oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups were improved. Therefore, Cu/Ce elements endowed magnetic Fe3 O4@Cu/Ce microspheres with excellent As(III) removal performance, whose maximum adsorption capacity reached 139.19 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism mainly involved catalytic oxidant co-adsorption. This research developed a feasible strategy for the preparation of high efficiency magnetic adsorbent to enhance the removal of As(Ⅲ).展开更多
