To compare their capture efficiency, four types of iron (hydro)oxide-loaded biochar functionalized with ferrihydrite, goethite, hematite, or magnetite were synthesized via co-precipitation method at a consistent iron-to-biochar mass ratio. The modification significantly improved electrostatic attraction between the biochar and aged microplastics, thereby increasing retention capacity. Among these materials, magnetite-loaded biochar demonstrated the highest removal efficiency exceeding 90% and maximum adsorption capacity of 25.02mg/g, representing a 5.53-fold improvement over unmodified biochar. This superior performance is likely attributed to its highest iron oxide loading (4.15wt%). Adsorption data followed both the Langmuir monolayer model and pseudo-first order kinetics. Notably, magnetite-loaded biochar maintained over 95% retention under varying ionic strengths, cation valences, and pH conditions. It also preserved greater than 90% of microplastics in multi-bed volume tests and real-water samples. Moreover, after multiple alkaline washing regeneration cycles, the material remained stable adsorption performance, demonstrating its excellent reusability potential.
