Abstract

Although various forms of biochar derived from waste biomass have been developed for remediating uranium-contaminated water, enhancing the uranium adsorption capacity of biochar remains a critical challenge owing to its limited surface adsorption sites and inherently low hydrophilicity. To address this issue, this study proposes a straightforward method for a coconut shell biochar-based adsorbent incorporating hydroxyapatite (CSB@HAP). CSB@HAP achieving a peak uranium adsorption capacity of 557.12 mg g−1. The dominant mechanisms governing uranium adsorption by CSB@HAP include electrostatic interactions, complexation, dissolution–precipitation, and ion exchange.
