USING IONIC LIQUID MODIFIED ZEOLITE AS A PERMEABLE REACTIVE WALL TO LIMIT ARSENIC CONTAMINATION OF A FRESHWATER LAKE: PILOT TESTS

Water 10(4):448(2018)
In 2008, severe As contamination was reported in the lake of Yangzonghai, Yunnan, China. After 28 months of restoration, As concentration was maintained at <0.05 mg/L, but discharges from mine tailings at a nearby fertilizer plant continued to contribute to As in the lake. A permeable reactive barrier (PRB) of zeolite was modified by ionic liquids, and the modified materials were installed to contain As migration. Preliminary results showed >80% reduction in As after surface water moved through the PRB over a 6-month sampling period. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/10/4/448/htm
