Abstract
Arsenic contamination in aqueous environments poses a significant threat to human health and the environment. Various adsorbents have been explored to mitigate this issue, with biochar emerging as a promising candidate due to its high adsorption capacity and environmental sustainability. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of iron-modified biochar as an adsorbent for arsenic removal from aqueous solutions. The results demonstrated that the iron-modified biochar exhibited superior arsenic adsorption performance compared to unmodified biochar. The maximum reduction was found to be 71%, indicating a significant improvement over conventional biochar.
