Abstract:
A method is disclosed for removing Se(IV) from aqueous solutions. The method begins by oxidizing an aqueous selenium solution with an aqueous oxidant to produce a Se(IV) solution. The Se(IV) solution is then contacted with a solid sorbent. The Se(IV) from the Se(IV) solution is then simultaneously adsorbed and encapsulated onto the solid sorbent to form an exhausted sorbent. The exhausted solid sorbent can then be disposed.
