Abstract: The concentration effects of combined removal of arsenate and fluoride(F) were studied by novel bead Fe(Ⅲ) loading ligand exchange cotton cellulose adsorbent in batch and column experiments. As(Ⅴ) and F could be simultaneously removed by the adsorbent from drinking water highly and selectively after three adsorption regeneration readsorption cycles. The saturation adsorption capacity of As(Ⅴ) and F reached up to 15 mg/g. Indexes of effluent were in good agreement with the living drinking water health standard of China, especially the arsenic concentrations below 0.01 mg/L and satisfy WHO stringent drinking water standards. It shows that the adsorbent may be a promising adsorbent in the region of arsenic and fluoride coexisting.
