Enhanced As(III) removal (&gt;99.7) was achieved by a novel organoclay (HEX-VER) adsorbent in Pearl River Delta water. Single and simultaneous As(III) removal in the presence of Cd(II) and/or Pb(II) by batch adsorption tests was analyzed. Spectroscopic, spectrometric, microscopic, and potentiometric techniques were used for characterization of the adsorbents. The parameters affecting As(III) adsorption, including pH, kinetic, isotherm, thermodynamic, and co-existing ions (Cl−, F−, NO3−, CO32−, SO42−, Ca2+ and Mg2+) were also investigated. The results showed that HEX-VER owned different morphology and larger average pore diameter after functionalization, resulting in an improvement of As (III) adsorption capacity. Further analysis confirmed that adsorption was of the monomolecular layer, well-described by the Langmuir isotherm model. The dominant mechanisms for As(III) removal were ion-exchange and complexation. Moreover, HEX-VER was regenerated for five consecutive cycles, and the removal ratio was ≈ 92%, showing its great regeneration potential. These findings suggest that the proposed inexpensive adsorbent has potential for practical applications of As(III) removal from river water.
