Palm shell waste–based activated carbon (PSAC) was magnetized via hydrothermal impregnation of nano–magnetite, and further coated by various amounts of lanthanum (La) followed by calcination. Numerous batch tests were carried out to observe arsenate removal by La–impregnated, magnetized PSAC (MPSAC–...
