Removal of trivalent arsenic from contaminated groundwater was studied using steam activated carbon prepared from the leaf, seed and pod of Moringa oleifera (MO) plant of the indigenous-cultivar of Bangladesh. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as a function of contact time, adsorbent doses and variants. The removal efficiency of the MO-leaf-carbon and MO-seed-carbon was substantial, while it was trivial for MO-pod-carbon. The pseudo-first- and second-order and intra-particle diffusion equations were used to evaluate the sorption mechanism of the MO carbon options. The MO is a common plant variety of the arsenic-affected Bengal delta. Therefore, it can be exploited as a cheaper resource of carbonaceous adsorbent for the economical removal of arsenic from the water.
