Article Synopsis
- An economic biosorbent derived from the Stem of Tecomella undulata was used to simultaneously remove fluoride and inorganic arsenic species (As(III) and As(V)) from water samples, with optimized conditions evaluated through various parameters like pH and temperature.
- The removal efficacy was assessed using advanced methods including cloud point extraction and ion chromatography, revealing that the biosorption process was spontaneous and efficient, as indicated by kinetic and thermodynamic studies.
- Characterization techniques like SEM and FTIR showed functional groups on the biosorbent's surface crucial for ion adsorption, allowing it to effectively treat real water samples from a fluoride and arsenic-affected area in Pakistan.
