Background: Zero-valent iron can control the sites contaminated Arsenic (V) used. The aim of this research is Arsenic (V) removal from aqueous solutions using of iron powder and detect isoterms and kinetic adsorption.

Methods: The experiment in batch system with change effective parameters such as pH, initial concentration of Arsenate, iron powder dosage and equilibration time was evaluated. In this work, the obtained data then analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Kinetic data with pseudo- first order, pseudo- second order and modified pseudo- first order models were fitted.

Results: The results showed that pH of the solution plays an important role in control of the surface charge of the adsorbent. The higher removal efficiency was observed for Arsenate in acidic environment (pH=3). The Arsenate removal efficiency by increasing adsorbent dosage and decreasing initial concentration of Arsenate increased. Absorption of Arsenate ions onto adsorbent is associated with Langmuir model (r²=0.99) . The kinetics of Arsenic absorption with the model pseudo-second order (r² =0.99) better described.

Conclusion: The results showed the iron powder is an effective, quick and cheap method for removal of Arsenic (V) from aqueous solution.
