        abstract = {Chlorpyrifos is the main cause of environmental harm, so creating a sustainable solution is crucial. In the present study Syzygium cumini seeds biochar (BR) and Syzygium cumini seeds biochar loaded with lanthanum ferrite nanocomposite (BR/LFNC) were explored for the remediation of chlorpyrifos (CS) from water. The nanocomposite was characterized by FESEM and FTIR. Impact of various parameters like temperature, contact time, pH were optimised for the removal of CS. The maximum removal of 80 % and 91% was observed using BR and BR/LFNC at 30 0C at pH 4.0.  Kinetic studies specified the pseudo second order reaction for the removal of CS from water.  Adsorption isotherm strongly followed the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.98).},
