Figure 2. MF-HT-mediated adsorption of barium and arsenic from well water in Bangladesh.

Figure 2

Well water samples (n = 8) from Jessore, Bangladesh with barium (range: 97.0–206.7 µg/L) not exceeding the value in WHO health-based guidelines and arsenic (range: 92.3–459.3 µg/L) exceeding the value in the guidelines were prepared. After 1% weight of MF-HT had been suspended in the well water samples, the MF-HT-suspended solutions were shaken at 300 rpm for 1 min. After the solutions had been centrifuged, barium (a and b) and arsenic (c and d) concentrations in the MF-HT-treated supernatants (MF-HT) were compared with those in untreated control water samples (Ctrl). **, Statistically different (p<0.01) from the control by the Mann-Whitney U test.
