Arsenic and its compounds are considered as one of the most dangerous water pollutants which are major problem in different communities in addition to the dangerous disease. Lot of researches was done to reduce/remove Arsenic and its compounds from drinking water in the world. Various solutions have been proposed based on the results that each of them has shown different performance. In this research, introduction of these strategies and synopsis comparison of their performance was presented and the effective use of these technologies has been discussed. The main technologies of Arsenic removal include adsorption, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, filtration and reverse osmosis membrane processes. Due to the maximum removing of arsenic, the results show that reverse osmosis has the best performance and is able to remove more than 98% of arsenic and its compounds in optimal conditions.
