Bayoxide® E33 (E-33) is a widely used commercial material for arsenic adsorption composed of a mixture of iron oxyhydroxide and oxides. Primarily used to remove arsenic from water, it is a non-magnetic, iron oxyhydroxide/oxide used in fixed bed pressure filters that generally lack multi-functionalit...
