Article Synopsis
- The study examines an adsorbent made from iron-impregnated henequen fibers (Fe/TBC) for effectively removing arsenic from water while minimizing energy consumption.
- Experimental results showed maximum arsenic adsorption capacities of 7.30 mg/g and 8.98 mg/g at temperatures of 25°C and 40°C, respectively, although factors like high pH and certain organic compounds hindered this process.
- The life cycle assessment revealed that while Fe/TBC is an effective adsorbent for treating arsenic-contaminated water, its synthesis stage has notable environmental impacts, contributing to a global warming potential of 0.8 kg CO-eq.
In the present work, nitrous oxide emissions were estimated [mg/L] by the use of lysimeters under the closed chamber technique for a six month period. The lysimeters were classified by the type of irrigation used: one for drinking water, and the other for treated wastewater. Each lysimeter had two different types of soil (sand and clay), based on the types of soil in Chihuahua City, Mexico.
