摘要

The remediation of trace cobalt (Co2+) in wastewater remains challenging. This study prepared a magnetic graphitic biochar (MGBC-900) from spent mushroom substrate via one-step pyrolysis with FeCl3. MGBC-900 exhibited an ultrahigh specific surface area and excellent adsorption capacity (138.97 mg g−1) for trace Co2+. The removal efficiency reached 99.10% at ~ 7 mg/L, maintaining 94.50% in simulated electroplating effluent. The adsorption mechanism is proposed to involve graphitic π-electron coordination and Fe–O complexation. MGBC-900 also showed good reusability. This work presents a sustainable strategy for trace cobalt removal using agricultural waste-derived biochar.
