Using the methods of chemical analysis and bioassays, we investigated the toxicity and detoxication of model solutions containing arsenic salts. The ability of zeolites to absorb arsenic from model solutions was examined. Commercially available humic substances ("Powhumus", "Humate-80"), as well as zeolites, activated with their application were shown to reduce toxic effect of pollutants. Zeolite activated by degassing, decationization, thermal and chemical treatment showed the highest sorbent efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
