Article Synopsis
- The research focused on creating a method to eliminate arsenic, a dangerous pollutant, from the Papallacta Lagoon in Ecuador, where arsenic levels reached between 18 to 652 μg/L.
- Metallic nanoparticles such as MnO, FeO, and CuO were synthesized and tested for their effectiveness in removing arsenic, with FeO showing the highest removal rate of 87% at a concentration of 150 mg/L.
- Various characterization techniques confirmed the properties of the nanoparticles, suggesting their potential application in water treatment facilities for the lagoon.
