ABSTRACT
This paper aims to test the efficiency of arsenic removal in drinking water, using oxide hydroxide granulated iron in with a pilot a portable plant in three different sources in the towns of Romera Pozo and Agua Azul Province Tucuman, with varied content of initial arsenic. A large treatment capacity, for certain types of water wherein the pH and silica content are key determinants of the matrices of treated water was observed. The results of the studies conducted in the three sources of arsenical waters with pH between 8 to 8.6, and silica between 59 to 60.5 [mg / L] show the treated water reaching the limit of 10 [碌g / L] arsenic the following: for water with 65 [碌g / L] arsenic the treated volume was 20,000 bed volumes, 16,000 to 110 [碌g / L] and 2.000 to 920 [碌g / L].
