Removal of arsenate from contaminated waters by novel zirconium and zirconium-iron modified biochar. Journal of Hazardous Materials 409 124488. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124488
Highlights
- Novel Zr-O and Zr-O-Fe impregnated biochars composites were synthesized for arsenate removal.
- SEM and TEM results confirmed Zr-O and Zr-O-Fe impregnation onto biochar.
- The maximum sorption capacity reached to 62.5 mg/g for Zr-Fe biochar composite.
- Removal of arsenate was greater under acidic conditions.
