As(III) adsorption on NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were systematically investigated by controlling parameters such as stirring rate, pH, initial arsenic concentration, contact duration, temperature, and adsorbent dose. It was observed that the amount of adsorbed arsenic concentration is strongly depended on pH and temperature. The temperature and pH give rise to significant changes in the amount of adsorbed arsenic. As compared with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models, the latter is found to be well suited. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion models were applied to adsorption equilibrium data obtained from the analysis of arsenic with diverse amount of initial concentration.
