Unique zerovalent iron (Fe-0) supported on biochar nanocomposite (Fe-0-B-RtP) was synthesized from Nephelium lappaceum (Rambutan) fruit peel waste and were applied for the simultaneous removal of 6 selected organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from aqueous medium. During facile synthesis of Fe-0-B-RtP,...
