Arsenic decontamination from groundwater is an urgent but still challenging task. Polystyrene-based hydrated ferric oxide (denoted as D201-HFO) nanocomposite is a new emerging current adsorbent for efficient arsenate removal in natural waters; the resulting materials can interact with arsenate, mainly driven by inner complexation and static interaction and the existing HA effects on adsorption was well investigated. Results reveals that low concentrations of HA (below 25 mg/L) coexistence led to negligible effects on As(V) removal, but high levels of HA (100 mg/L) exerted outstanding sorption competition to As(V) removal; kinetics results revealed the HA additions brought about the diffusion prolonging and capacity decline, due to the large molecule structure of HA. Column experiments further showed the slight decrease application capacity of 810 BV by HA additions, with satisfactory saturation capacity; significantly, the presence of HA also exerted negligible influences on regeneration performances. All the sorbents with or without HA could be well regenerated by binary alkaline and salt mixture.
