The invention provides a process for removing and immobilising arsenic from an arsenic-containing waste. It com-prises oxidising the arsenic to pentavalent arsenic in an aqueous medium, contacting the pentavalent arsenic with trivalent iron to form an insoluble iron-arsenic compound and separating precipitated iron- arsenic compound from the aqueous medium. The oxi-dation of arsenic is effected using oxidising bacteria at a pH between 0.5 and 4 and at a temperature between 20 and 90 °C in the presence of a mineral catalyst such as pyrite.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'éliminer et d'immobiliser l'arsenic provenant de déchets contenant de l'arsenic. Ledit procédé consiste à oxyder l'arsenic en arsenic pentavalent en milieu aqueux ; à mettre l'arsenic pentavalent en contact avec du fer trivalent de manière à former un composé fer-arsenic insoluble ; et à séparer le composé fer-arsenic précipité du milieu aqueux. L'arsenic est oxydé à l'aide de bactéries oxydantes à un pH compris entre 0,5 et 4 et à une température comprise entre 20 et 90 DEG C en présence d'un catalyseur minéral, tel que la pyrite.
