Removal of arsenic from natural waters of the Camarones River and their use for human consumption by the modified SORAS – zerovalent iron technology
Keywords: Solar water treatment, decontaminantion, desinfection
Abstract
In this last stage of the work planned within Project OAS/AE/141, two of the three technologies mentioned in the project were combined. It was demonstrated that the application of the SORAS technology for the decontamination of water from the Camarones River is feasible if the technology is modified and adapted to the geographic and environmental context of the region. Due to the absence of natural iron in the waters from the Camarones River, it should be artificially added. Thus, together with the addition of citrate as lemon juice, arsenic removal rates above 99% are obtained.
