The adsorption of arsenic, a toxic pollutant found in surface and groundwater resources, onto two micro-sized iron oxyhydroxides as adsorbents was investigated through batch adsorption tests. Moreover, arsenic adsorption in a slurry bed reactor was combined with a submerged microfiltration (MF) membrane unit to create an innovative and cost-effective water treatment system. Experimentally determined arsenic removal rates were modeled using a developed mathematical model. This work confirms that micro-sized iron oxyhydroxides, by-products of conventional adsorbent production processes, can successfully be employed in the proposed water treatment system to achieve a drinking water standard of < 10 µg As/L without fouling of the MF membrane
