Specifications

Maximum adsorption capacity

{'zh': '310.74', 'en': '310.74'} mg·g⁻¹

Advantages

High adsorption capacity

The maximum adsorption capacity reaches 310.74 mg·g⁻¹, significantly higher than ordinary biochar, enabling rapid removal of oxytetracycline hydrochloride from water.

Spontaneous and exothermic

The adsorption process occurs spontaneously without external energy input and releases heat, facilitating practical application.

Cost-effective and eco-friendly

Derived from bamboo, a renewable and abundant precursor, with a simple modification method that introduces no secondary pollution.

Applications

• Environmental Remediation：Used to treat water contaminated with tetracycline antibiotics, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance gene spread.
• Water Purification：Serves as an adsorbent to remove oxytetracycline hydrochloride from water, applicable to fixed-bed or batch setups.
