524 Table 4 – Initial sample and cleaned solution characterization. Sample Sample Type As As removal FeCl addition MgO addition mg/L % g/L g/L SB1 Arsenic-bearing acid 8,620 99.9 18.07 17.0 SB1-Clean Neutralized SB1 7.14 This test allowed to recover 28.1g (dry) of arsenic precipitate. Its characterization is shown in Table 5 below. Table 5 – Arsenic precipitate characterization.
