REMOVAL OF ARSENIC CONTAMINATION FROM WATER BY COMPOSITE NANOFIBRE

Abstract

Although arsenic contaminated water is local problem but it affects all over the world especially Bangladesh where largest population is exposed under the arsenic poisoning. Studies from the countries which are exposed under arsenic contaminated water indicate un 10 people who drink arsenic contaminated water for long term may die from cancers. Traditional treatment technology fail or not that much effective to get desired level of arsenic removal. But research shows nZVl particle may be the potential alternate for the removal of arsenic contamination from water. So in this investigation composite nanolibre of nZVl particle and polymer have been synthesized and analysed. This fibrous material can be used as insoluble alternate for conventional powder material adsorbent which are soluble and hard to reverse and can be used as filter and adsorbent material. Results of this experiment suggest that composite nanofibre synthesized be electrospinning process can be used as remediation agent for arsenic contaminated water and out of this fibrous material one can make column filled with these fibres and that column can work as arsenic purification kit
