  • Titanium dioxide (TiO2) granule was prepared using titanyl sulfate and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in ice-water bath, and its adsorption ability was investigated. The surface morphology and structure of the synthesized TiO2 granule were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The TiO2 exhibited anatase form with a specific surface area of 246 m2/g. The adsorption kinetics of TiO2 granule for arsenite (As(III)) in simulated groundwater indicated that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second order reaction model. The adsorption equilibrium was fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The results followed Langmuir model with adsorption capacity of 22.3 mg/g. The maximum uptake of As occurred at approximately pH 9.1, and CO32- had significant impact on the adsorption of As(III). Field experiment was conducted using a filter pitcher filled with 110 g TiO2 granule. The result demonstrated that total As in groundwater decreased from 190 μg/L to less than 10 μg/L after 3 600 bed volume, which met the national standard for drinking water.
