This study evaluated the feasibility of Granular Ferric Hydroxide(GFH) for bromate removal from water. Batch experiments were performed to study theinfluence of various experimental parameters such as effect of contact time, temperatureand effect of competing anions on bromate removal by GFH. The adsorption kinetics dataindicate that the uptake rate of bromate was rapid in the beginning and 75% adsorption wascompleted in 5 min and equilibrium was achieved within 20 min. The adsorption dataconform best to the Langmuir model. Results of the present study suggest that GFH canbe effectively utilized for bromate removal from drinking water. Includes 20 references, tables, figures.
