The resulting biochar exhibited a large specificsurface area (933.39 m^(2)/g), a rich porous structure (1.044 cm3/g), and abundant active sites.Consequently, the prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited higher efficiency in adsorbingtetracycline with a maximum adsorption capacity of 413.223 mg/g, which significantlyexceeded that of unmodified biochar andmost commercial and reported adsorbents.The correlation analysis between the adsorption capacity and adsorbent characteristics revealedthat the formation of the –BCO_(2) group enhanced π–π electron donor–acceptor interactionsbetween boron-doped porous biochar and tetracycline. This mechanism mainlycontributed to the enhanced adsorption of tetracycline by boron-doped porous biochar. Additionally,the as-prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited broad applications in removingantibiotics (tetracycline), phenolics (bisphenol A), and dyes (methylene blue andrhodamine B). Moreover, the boron-doped porous biochar exhibited satisfactory stability,and its adsorption capacity can be nearly completely regenerated through simple heat treatment.This study provides new insights into the effectiveness of boron-doped carbonaceousmaterials in removing antibiotic contaminants.展开更多
