Methods for selenium removal from contaminated waters: a …
Removal of selenate (Se (VI)) at neutral pH was about 40%, and indeed relatively low. Unfortunately, no removal data for selenite (Se (IV)) is available. Nonetheless, based on the speciation of Se (IV) in Fig. 7, it is expected that Se (IV) removal would be maximum at pH 4 to 7, where selenium is dominantly monovalent.
Rapid adsorption of selenium removal using iron …
Then it was applied to remove selenium ions in an aqueous system. The data revealed that the optimum conditions for the highest removal (95.6%) of selenium were observed at pH 8.5, adsorbent ...

Removal of Selenium from Petroleum Refinery Wastewaters
Selenium in sour water stripper bottoms appears to be in reduced forms such as selenide (Se2-). The bottoms are discharged to the refinery wastewater treatment system, where some selenium is removed by biological treatment. The remaining selenium gets oxidized to selenite (SeO32-) and selenate (SeO42-). Selenium discharged to receiving waters ...
Aqueous selenium removal and distribution in
3.1 Aqueous selenium removal. Initial mean aqueous Se was 40.9 (± 0.42) μg Se L −1. Overall, aqueous Se removal improved from Cycle 1 (62%) to Cycle 2 (77%) (P = .0023). Differences between the cycles are likely attributed to a lag period associated with Se uptake in soil– microcosms and an increase soil adsorption in UNP …
Methods for selenium removal from contaminated waters: a …
The removal of selenium from drinking water, wastewater, and industrial discharges can be accomplished using techniques based on zero-valent iron, iron-oxy-hydroxides, supported materials ...
Selenium removal by activated alumina in batch
Selenium removal by activated alumina (AA) in batch and continuous-flow reactors was investigated in this study. The adsorption kinetics fitted pseudo-first as well as pseudo-second order models with equilibrium time for Se(VI) and Se(IV) adsorption of 8 and 12 hr, respectively. A significant higher adsorption capacity for Se(IV) than Se(VI ...
Thermodynamic insights into selenium oxyanion removal …
Specifically, TSSE can remove >99.5% selenium oxyanions and 96%–99.6% mercury from the discharge stream with the coexistence of sulfate at a six-fold increase in the concentration. In summary, we demonstrated that TSSE is promising either as a standalone or a pre-treatment technology to alleviate Se and Hg from FGD …
Application of a 2.9 MGD Open-Platform UF/RO System for Selenium
This presentation is about a 2.9 MGD UF/RO project for the purpose of removing selenium from a mine-influenced surface water.
