Figure 3. MF-HT-mediated adsorption of barium and arsenic from well water in Vietnam.

Figure 3

Well water samples (n = 5) from Ha Nam, Vietnam with barium (range: 412.8–879.6 µg/L) and arsenic (range: 7.4–63.2 µg/L) 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). * and **, Statistically different (*, p<0.05; **, p<0.01) from the control by the Mann-Whitney U test.
