| What is the fate of arsenic influent to a wastewater treatment plant, i.e. how much ends up in the sludge and how much goes out with the effluent? Does the treatment configuration have any impact, i.e. attached growth vs. suspended growth; with or without effluent filtration?

I would suspect the fate depends upon whether the arsenic is dissolved, or in particulate form. What does your analyses data seem to indicate? Or, is this a hypothetical question?

| It is mostly dissolved from dewatering of a former plate glass manufacturing site. The concentration is 2,000 - 9,000 ug/L. The municipal WWTP is reluctant to accept the discharge because they are concerned about their biosolids land application program.
