The aim of this work was to investigate the properties of two clays and a natural zeolite available in Ecuador, for the removal of Arsenic (III), (As (III)), in synthetic aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were prepared from the powdered solids, shaped as cylindrical extrudates of 0.5 cm in length by 0.2 cm in diameter approximately, and characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (FRX) and specific area ( Ae). Arsenic adsorption in aqueous systems was determined by charging load experiments, using a dosage of 0.1 L of solution per grame of adsorbent, at 30 ° C in a stirred system (100 r. p. m.). The Arsenic content was determined by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry with a hydride generator. The kinetics absorption was analyzed by following the variation of the concentration of an 80 mg As/L solution, taken at different times for an extended period of 24 hours. The experimental data showed a good fit using a pseudo-first-order equation for the natural zeolite and pseudo-second-order equation for the two clays. The maximum adsorption capacity of As was higher for clays (13-15 ) compared to zeolite (5-6 ). These values are lower compared to those reported in the literature, however, the solids studied have the advantage of requiring a simple preparation process and they represent an abundant cheap raw material in the country.
