Effects of feed concentration, operating pressure, pH and existing ions on As(V) removal were investigated. Experimental results showed that As(V) rejection was higher than 90% in the range of investigated As feed concentra- tions. The As(V) rejection increased slightly with pressure increase, As(V) rejection was higher than 90% in the pres- sure range of 0.4 MPa to 0.8 MPa. As(V) rejection increased significantly from 83% at pH 3 to 99% at pH 9. The pres- ence of NaCl enhanced As(V) rejection in the range of feed concentration, and As(V) rejection can reach up to 99% at a feed As concentration of 100 μg/L, whereas there was a rejection decrease of 8% in the presence of Na2SO4 at every feed concentration. The results showed the As(V) detected in the permeate was lower than the EPA recommended MCL up to a feed As concentration of approximately 10 μg/L in the experimental research range.
