In this study, arsenic removal from arsenic contaminated
water has been investigated by using Assam coal as an adsorbent. Arsenic contaminated water was
treated in two ways : batch sorption system and continuous flow system through a column. The
results show that the low grade Assam coal, collected from Jaipur coalfield, Assam, India: can be
used as an effective adsorbent in removing arsenic from water after a simple pretreatment. The
optimum conditions for the efficient removal of arsenic are established by observing effective
variables such as dose of adsorbent, contact time, and particle size of adsorbent.
