The removal of arsenic (As) from wastewater and groundwater has become a critical environmental issue. In this study, a novel sorbent, dithiocarbamate-functionalized cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (DFCPVA) aerogel was successfully developed to address this issue. The aerogel was analyzed for its ability to remove arsenite (AsIII) from aqueous matrices, and it showed excellent sorption performance for AsIIIunder both acidic and neutral conditions. The AsIIIsorption efficiency of DFCPVA was not significantly hindered by competing metal ions present in the solution. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model described the sorption well, and the Langmuir model fit the equilibrium sorption isotherm more closely than the Freundlich model. It was anticipated that the sorption rate of AsIIIby DFCPVA would be rapid, as equilibrium was established in 15 min. The maximum sorption capacity of DFCPVA was 535 µmol g−1, as determined by the isotherm study. Sorption experiments, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies demonstrated that the sorption of AsIIIby DFCPVA followed a chelation mechanism. The sorption capacity of DFCPVA was slightly decreased when stored at 40 ℃ for one month; however, the capacity was not reduced when it was stored in a refrigerator (i.e., cold condition).
