Popis: In present study, arsenic (As) uptake potential of an eco-friendly Morus alba (mulberry) leave biomass was analyzed. Surface properties of the sorbent and its affinities for arsenic ions with respect to temperature were studied. Freundlich, D-R, Florry-Huggins and Halsey isotherms were found to be similar with recorded experimental data. Maximum sorption capacities 2.82 mg/g and 4.93 mg/g were calculated for As(III) and As(V) at pH-6 and pH-4, respectively. The energy values of the sorption 3.31-5.89 (
