Arsenate Retention by Epipsammic Biofilms Developed on Streambed Sediments: Influence of Phosphate

Natural geological conditions together with the impact of human activities could produce environmental problems due to high As concentrations. The aim of this study was to assess the role of epipsammic biofilm-sediment systems onto As (V) sorption and to evaluate the effect of the presence of equimo...
