Popis: In this study, the iron humate (IH) prepared by a coprecipitation procedure with economical and environmentally friendly iron salts and humic acid (HA) was developed as an adsorbent, and its potential for p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) removal from aqueous solution was then evaluated. The structure, surface morphology, and elemental composition of the synthesized adsorbent were characterized in detail and the adsorption behavior of p-ASA onto IH was investigated by altering the parameters of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, p-ASA concentration, ionic strength, competing ions, and temperature. Results showed that IH possessed good adsorption ability to aqueous p-ASA. The amount of p-ASA adsorbed increased with increasing adsorbent dosage and temperature, but decreased as the pH increased. The adsorption process of p-ASA obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir model, and the estimated maximum adsorption capacity of IH was 188.68 mg/g at 308 K, displaying higher...
