Abstract: , after 240 min. Kinetic modeling was done along pseudo-second-order mechanism implying chemisorption through inner-sphere complexation. The shifting in FTIR bands and appears new Fe-O-As/P bonds confirm key adsorption mechanisms. The nano-architectures were highly reusable with >90% of their original capacity remaining after five cycles and >85% after six cycles of regeneration. This study offers a solid guideline in the creation of bionanocomposites that may counter multi-pollutants in the design of a decentralized water treatment plant.
