AbstractThe intensification of pharmaceutical use globally has led to an increase in the number of water bodies contaminated by drugs, and an effective strategy must be developed to address this issue. In this work, several biochars produced from Miscanthus straw pellets (MSP550, MSP700) and wheat straw pellets (WSP550, WSP700) at 550 and 700°C, respectively, were selected as adsorbents for removing various pharmaceuticals, such as pemetrexed (PEME), sulfaclozine (SCL), and terbutaline (TBL), from the aqueous phase. The biochar characterizations (physicochemical properties, textural properties, morphological structures, and zeta potentials) and adsorptive conditions (contact times, temperatures, and pH effect) were investigated. The infrared and Raman spectra of biochars before and after pharmaceutical adsorption, as well as quantum chemical computations, were carried out to explore the adsorption mechanisms. The results showed that the general adsorption abilities of biochars for pharmaceuticals were in the order of WSP700 > MSP700 > MSP550 > WSP550. Both the higher drug concentration and higher temperature improved biochar adsorption. By decreasing the pH, the adsorption amounts increased for PEME and SCL. However, TBL exhibited the best adsorption at pH 7, whereas a weakening of affinity occurred at lower or higher pH values. Electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding were the main adsorptive mechanisms between all biochars and pharmaceuticals. π–π interactions played a role in the adsorption process of low‐temperature‐prepared biochars (MSP550 and WSP550). This work can provide new insights into the control of pharmaceuticals from water with low‐cost adsorbents.Practitioner Points Use of biochars for pharmaceuticals removal from aqueous phase. Characterization of biochars : physical and chemical properties, textural and surface properties. Simulation calculation for characterization of pharmaceuticals. Kinetic studies of pharmaceuticals adsorption on biochars. DRIFTS and Raman analysis for the understanding of adsorption process.
