In this study, mulberry tree stems were used as raw material to prepare magnetic modified biochar, Fe-BC-500, using the co-precipitation method. The structure of Fe-BC-500 was systematically characterized and tested for arsenic (As) adsorption in batch experiments by varying parameters such as solution pH (3&ndash:11), the concentrations of co-existing anions (2&ndash:20 mg/L), and ionic strength (0&ndash:0.5 mol/L NaNO3). The results indicate that Fe-BC-500 exhibited optimal adsorption capacity at pH 4 and an initial As(V) concentration of 20 mg/L. The influence of co-existing anions on As(V) adsorption followed the order PO43&minus: >: SO42&minus: >: NO3&minus:. Kinetic analysis showed that adsorption of Fe-BC-500 on As(V) followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a correlation coefficient of 1.00, indicating chemical adsorption. The Langmuir model accurately described the isothermal adsorption results, indicating monolayer adsorption. Mechanistic analysis showed that As(V) was fixed on the Fe-BC-500 surface through complexation reactions, demonstrating adsorption specificity. This study provides a theoretical basis and highlights the application potential of magnetically modified biochar for removing As(V) from water.
