TLDR
Oak bark out-performed the other chars and nearly mimicked Calgon F-400 adsorption for lead and cadmium, and the oak bark char's ability to remove Pb(II) and Cd( II) is remarkable when considered in terms of the amount of metal adsorbed per unit surface area.About:

Arsenic removal from water/wastewater using adsorbents—A critical review
Dinesh Mohan,Charles U. Pittman +1 more
TL;DR: Strong acids and bases seem to be the best desorbing agents to produce arsenic concentrates, and some commercial adsorbents which include resins, gels, silica, treated silica tested for arsenic removal come out to be superior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic and inorganic contaminants removal from water with biochar, a renewable, low cost and sustainable adsorbent--a critical review.
TL;DR: A review of recent applications of biochars, produced from biomass pyrolysis (slow and fast), in water and wastewater treatment, and a few recommendations for further research have been made in the area of biochar development for application to water filtration.

Mechanisms of metal sorption by biochars: Biochar characteristics and modifications
Hong-Bo Li,Xiaoling Dong,Evandro B. da Silva,Letuzia M. de Oliveira,Yanshan Chen,Lena Q. Ma,Lena Q. Ma +6 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the characteristics of biochar (e.g., surface area, porosity, pH, surface charge, functional groups, and mineral components) and main mechanisms governing sorption of As, Cr, Cd, Pb, and Hg by biochar and includes competitive sorption mechanisms of co-existing metals.

Alexander E. Burakov,Evgeny Galunin,I.V. Burakova,Anastassia E. Kucherova,Shilpi Agarwal,Alexey Tkachev,Vinod Kumar Gupta +6 more
TL;DR: Detailed information and review on the adsorption of noxious heavy metal ions from wastewater effluents using various adsorbents - i.e., conventional (activated carbons, zeolites, clays, biosorbents, and industrial by-products) and nanostructured (fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphenes) is presented.

Adsorption of Gases in Multimolecular Layers
Journal ArticleDOI
The adsorption of gases on plane surfaces of glass, mica and platinum.
TL;DR: In this article, the absorption index at the wave length of the band maximum was found to be proportional to the total concentration of metal at shorter wave lengths, however, deviations were observed, the absorption increasing more rapidly with concentration than Beers' law would demand.
Book
Environmental Chemistry of Soils
TL;DR: In this article, an introduction to modern soil chemistry describes chemical processes in soils in terms of established principles of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, providing an understanding of the structure of the solid mineral and organic materials from which soils are formed.
