Abstract:Arsenicosis, due to consumption of an elevated amount of arsenic‐containing groundwater is a serious issue related to human health. The ubiquitous nature of arsenic is also a part of agricultural soil solution and its uptake by edible plants imposes a considerable human health risk. A calcium pretreated wood of Moringa oleifera was pyrolyzed and converted into biochar. The resultant biochar was examined for arsenite and arsenate uptake from an aqueous solution. Further, characterization of biochar was performe… Show more
