Abstract

This review deals with arsenic chemistry and its occurrence in groundwater. Specifically, the paper gives an overview regarding chemical and physical properties of arsenic species, oxidation of As(III), geochemical processes related to the fate and transport of arsenic, arsenic leaching from soil, and mechanism of arsenic leaching from arsenic-containing minerals.

본 논문은 지하수에서의 비소화학과 발생에 관한 것이다. 특히, 비소종의 물리화학적 특성, As(III)의 산화, 비소의 거동과 관련된 지화학 과정, 토양으로부터 비소의 용해, 비소함유 광물로부터 비소용출 메커니즘을 주로 다루고 있다.
