dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out to be another step towards betterment and development of new ways to treat perilous problem of arsenic in water which is causing many diseases and other problems to human life. As in this study various determination methods were utilized followed by each other in process, due to presence of arsenic in micro level, most of the processes were unable to show prominent results when quantified by mean of Jasco spectrophotometer. The only result bearing process was found to be calorimetric and spectrophotometric process of determination of arsenic by Molybdenum blue method (Vogel and Jeffery 1989). Fractions of Arsenic concentrations as, 20 ppb, 40 ppb, 60ppb and 80 ppb were prepared by dissolving Arsenic(III) Oxide in distilled water and all the concentrations were treated by the said method and their absorption were recorded as 0.0934, 0.2671, 0.322 and 0.4600 respectively. Graph was plotted against absorbance vs. concentration. Given results shown clear increase in absorbance exactly as the fashion of arsenic concentration. After the detection of arsenic the 80ppb and 60ppb concentration samples were treated by dipping bark of Vachellia karro (Kikar tree) and Azadirachta indica (Neem Tree) bark in the sample (respectively) for 3 hours and then resulted effluent was tested again by previously utilized method for arsenic determination.
