In the present study, the efficacy of low-cost biosorbent obtained from walnut shells for the removal of AFB 1  was examined. The characterization of the biosorbent was investigated using SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, and pHpzc. Maximum removal (90.5 %) was achieved using 100 mg/mL of biosorbent, pH 7.0 at 45 °C for 45 min with 100 ng/mL of AFB 1 . The biosorbent’s adsorption capacity was found to be 178.9 mg/g as calculated using the Langmuir isotherm and assumption of monolayer AFB 1  adsorption with homogenously dispersed adsorption positions on the biosorbent exterior. The kinetic data indicated the fast AFB 1  uptake on biosorbent and followed the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic factors revealed that the adsorption process is viable, spontaneous and endothermic. Furthermore, slight decrease in AFB 1  adsorption was observed after repeating the adsorption–desorption process for 5 times. In conclusion, the obtained biosorbent is an economically, eco-friendly and promising material for the removal of AFB 1 .
