“…Among these methods, physical treatment, particularly adsorption, is regarded as a highly effective approach for addressing antibiotics in wastewater due to its efficiency, simplicity, costeffectiveness, and resistance to toxicity [12]. However, it is crucial to recognize that the adsorption efficiency is contingent upon the specific adsorbent type and its inherent characteristics [13][14][15]. To date, various adsorbents, including activated carbon [16], nanotube [17], metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [18], osmotic membrane bioreactors [19], clay [20], and silica [21], have been extensively utilized for the removal of antibiotics.…”

One-step carbonization was explored to prepare biochar using the residue of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Atropa belladonna L. (ABL), as the raw material. The resulting biochar, known as ABLB4, was evaluated for its potential as a sustainable material for norfloxacin (NOR) adsorption in water. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics was conducted through batch adsorption experiments. The maximum calculated NOR adsorption capacity was 252.0 mg/g at 298 K, and the spontaneous and exothermic adsorption of NOR on ABLB4 could be better suited to a pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir model. The adsorption process observed is influenced by pore diffusion, π–π interaction, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen bonding between ABLB4 and NOR molecules. Moreover, the utilization of response surface modeling (RSM) facilitated the optimization of the removal efficiency of NOR, yielding a maximum removal rate of 97.4% at a temperature of 304.8 K, an initial concentration of 67.1 mg/L, and a pH of 7.4. Furthermore, the biochar demonstrated favorable economic advantages, with a payback of 852.5 USD/t. More importantly, even after undergoing five cycles, ABLB4 exhibited a consistently high NOR removal rate, indicating its significant potential for application in NOR adsorption.
