Reusing biomass waste is one objective of environmental sustainability and has turned into a choice to increase the value of producers. Biosorbent, the most fitting illustrative of biomass waste, is as of now acquiring adequate attraction, because of its convenience and potentiality in protection of nature. Affirming the statement, this article presents a cutting‐edge review of different biosorbents in dry cleaning of biodiesel impurities. Moreover, the progress on the preparation of these biodegradable adsorbents, their formidable challenges in concert with the future prospect, has been featured and discussed. Finally, the examination of biomass‐derived adsorbents in the area of adsorption science and technology represents a possible alternative, prompting the widespread change of pollution control. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13077, 2019
