| Abstract: | Non-viable fungal biomass of Aspergillus niger, coated with iron oxide was investigated for its potential to remove arsenic from an aqueous solution. A. niger biomass coated with iron oxide showed maximum removal (approximately 95% of As(V) and 75% of As(III)) at a pH of 6. No strong relationship was observed between the surface charge of the biomass and arsenic removal. |
