A comparative study on dispersivity of Arsenic among Surma, Sari and Volaganj sand

Transport mechanism of Arsenic (As) through the Surma, Sari and Volaganj sand is the prime concern of this study. Three column leaching tests were performed to find the dispersivity property of As. Numerous physical properties of these sand samples were determined and it shows Volaganj sand is mo...
