Adsorption of Arsenic(V) by Use of Aluminium-Loaded Shirasu-Zeolites

Abstract
A P1 type Shirasu-zeolite (SZP1) was treated with an aluminium sulfate solution, and thus an aluminium-loaded SZP1 (Al-SZP1) was prepared. By use of Al-SZP1 as an adsorbent, the adsorption of As(V) was examined. The Al-SZP1 was superior to an activated alumina and other aluminium-loaded zeolites in terms of the adsorption ability for As(V).
