Arsenic Rule
• Arsenic MCL was reduced from
50 ug/L to 10 µg/L
• Established by EPA in January of 2001
• Compliance deadline - January 2006
![Page 3: USEPA Arsenic Technology Demonstration Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568147c4550346895db506c3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Arsenic Chemistry
• Arsenic has two primary valence states:
As (III) As 3+ Arsenite
As (V) As 5+ Arsenate
• Arsenic Occurrence by valence state Surface waters - predominately As (V) Ground waters – usually found as As (III),
however, concentrations of As (V) or a combination of As (III) and As (V) can be found
![Page 4: USEPA Arsenic Technology Demonstration Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568147c4550346895db506c3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Arsenic Chemistry
• Arsenic species- pH dependent
As (III) - H3AsO30, H2AsO3
-1, HAsO3-2
As (V) - H3AsO40, HAsO4
-1, AsO4-2
![Page 5: USEPA Arsenic Technology Demonstration Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568147c4550346895db506c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Arsenic Chemistry
What is the significance of arsenic speciation?
As (V) more effectively removed than As (III) by most treatment technologies
![Page 6: USEPA Arsenic Technology Demonstration Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568147c4550346895db506c3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Arsenic Chemistry
• As III can be oxidized to As V by strong oxidants such as
chlorine,
ozone and
potassium permanganate
![Page 7: USEPA Arsenic Technology Demonstration Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568147c4550346895db506c3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Arsenic Chemistry
Oxidation of As III
by aeration
is NOT
effective

Arsenic Demonstration ProgramBackground
• $20 million targeted to this effort
($12M EPA; $8M Congress)
• Full-scale, long-term (1 year) in scope
• Focused on commercially ready technologies or engineering approaches
![Page 9: USEPA Arsenic Technology Demonstration Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568147c4550346895db506c3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Goals of Demonstrations• Determine the construction costs/operational costs.
• Determine performance of the new process.
• Determine the operational and maintenance requirements.
• Characterize the residuals produced by the process; quantity and chemical characteristics.
• Evaluate effectiveness of residuals disposal process and/or the impact of residuals on existing disposal process.
