The removal of arsenite [As(III)] from drinking water was investigated in a column at flow rates of 2.0 and 5.0 mL/min (up-flow direction) using bark-based magnetic iron oxide particles (BMIOP) prepared by coating (Fe(NO).

The synthesized BMIOP had a saturation magnetization value of 38.62 emug which was found to be enough for the magnetic separation of exhausted BMIOP after As(III) adsorption.

The prepared MBOP has super paramagnetic property which is sufficient for magnetic separation. Column study was performed at two different flow rates of 2.

Batch experiments were performed to determine the rate of adsorption and equilibrium isotherm and also effect of various rate limiting factors including adsorbent dose, pH, optimum contact time, initial adsorbate concentration and influence of presence cations and anions. It was observed that uptake of arsenic (III) was independent of pH of the solution.
