What is it about?
Arsenic is a toxic contaminant that could be found in drinking water. This paper presents a green methodology to remove arsenic(V) in low concentrations in water. We have studied the kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamic of the process. This chitosan sorbent was succesfully applied in purification columns.

Why is it important?
Arsenic is classified as one of the most toxic elements for humans by the World Health Organization (WHO). Contamination of drinking water by arsenic affects over 140 million people in 70 countries around the world and represents a major issue of public health. Contaminated water was treated with this sorbent material reaching the arsenic level defined by the new WHO regulation.
