Abstract

In a column set-up, Fe modified biochar produced from date palm leaves was used to remove As (1 mg L−1) from a laboratory-prepared wastewater. The wastewater treatment process was monitored in real-time by spectral induced polarization (SIP), over a wide range of frequencies (0.01–1000 Hz). Both 5 and 10% biochar-amended columns achieved As removal exceeding 98%. The SIP parameters appear to be sensitive on As removal processes, with the recorded trend following the conventional geochemical monitoring, while offering higher temporal resolution.
