Arsenic, either in (III) or (V) oxidation states forms, is a hazardous element to humans; thus, its removal from aqueous environments is of the utmost priority in the countries where this problem arises. From the various separation technologies, the removal of arsenic via biosorption processing attracted an interest, because besides the removal of the element, allows the recycle materials that in many cases are considered as wastes. The present chapter reviewed the most recent proposals (2022 year) about using biosorbents to remove this toxic element.
