Reclaiming Selenium from Water Using Aluminum-Modified Biochar: Adsorption Behaviors, Mechanisms, and Effects on Growth of Wheat Seedlings

Although selenium is an essential nutrient, its contamination in water poses serious risks to human health and ecosystems. In this study, aluminum-modified bamboo biochar (Al-BC) was developed to reclaim Se(VI) from water. Compared to pristine biochar (BC), Al-BC had a larger specific surface area (176 m
