Arsenic filtering media consisting essentially of calcined diatomite particles and between 5% and 30% by weight of ferric ions bonded to the calcined diatomite particles. One method for producing the filtering media consists of: generating a mixture of calcined diatomite particles and ferric chloride; allowing the mixture to sit for an extended period, thereby allowing ferric chloride to thoroughly impregnate the diatomite particles; and slowly adding sodium hydroxide to the mixture until the pH of the mixture reaches a value of at least 9.0, for ensuring unhasty and full oxidation of ferric chloride into ferric hydroxide. The filtering media thus obtained have strong and durable bonds between ferric ions and the diatomite particles. The filtering media are renewable several times with minimum reduction to their arsenic adsorption capacity. A method for renewing the filtering media comprises in-situ desorption of arsenic using sodium hydroxide and rinsing with water.
