Abstract

For treatment of arsenic contaminated water, adsorption of arsenic and it’s reduction are there important processes. Conducting polymer efficiently show the efficient absorption but in use of it there is agglomeration of particles which make its usage difficult. To reduce this problem magnetic property material are used. In this polypyrrole and polyaniline conducting polymers were used. By oxidative polymerization of Polypyrrole and aniline in presence of Fe3O4 by utilizing FeCl3 nanocomposite was manufactured. In this magnetite prevented the agglomeration of particles of polymers and also helped in separation of nanocomposite from solution. Characterization was done by FTIR, SEM and XRD. This nanocomposite removal 88% arsenide (III) from aqueous solution at adsorbent concentration 0.01g and pH=1. Colorimetric method was used which developed complex with arsenite (III) and showed the removal of arsenite (III) from aqueous solution by complex. Separation of nanocomposite became easy due to magnetic properties of magnetite. This could be isolate from aqueous solution by using of strong magnet. This nanocomposite is the promising composite for removal of arsenite (III) from aqueous solution.
