The thesis is divided into five chapters, Chapter I is an introductionto water pollution caused by natural and anthropogenic sources,particularly arsenic poisoning and its effects on human health,animal life, plants, and materials.The literature review in Chapter II depicts a survey of arsenic ingroundwater from various parts of the world and India, laboratoryand analytical methods of arsenic analysis, and various types ofarsenic removal technologies that are currently in use, as well asthe research's goals and objectives.The research study of adsorbents, biosorbents, and coagulants, aswell as the methodology employed in this investigation, are coveredin Chapter III.With the use of functional factors, Chapter IV elucidates theexperimental approach for adsorption and coagulation processes.Results and discussion in chapter V pertaining to thecharacterization of materials used and the percentages of Arsenicelimination were studied with the help of parameters, adsorptionisotherms, kinetics, thermodynamics and equilibrium. Theefficiency of arsenic removal was reported using Brick powder,Multan mitti, Iron dust and Chalk power as adsorbents, Lemon peelpowder, Fenugreek powder and Neem bark powder as biosorbents,Phaseolus Lunatus, Phaseolus Vulgaris, Abelmoschus and Cocciniagrandis as coagulants.Overall, the findings imply that a low-cost water filter media can beconstructed that is capable of removing metal ions fromgroundwater for the use of drinking water at all levels of society.
