The increasing use of antibiotics induces the spread antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in environment, which seriously threatens natural ecosystem and human health. Reducing environment is utmost importance. Biochar, as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, carbon-rich porous material with circular economy prospects, has shown great potential antibiotic remediation environment. adsorption mechanisms (e.g., electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding hydrophobic π–π electron donor–acceptor (EDA) pore diffusion) biotic roles biochar microbial shelter, carrier, mediator) synergistically promote removal from aqueous phase. This review critically discusses various based on classes antibiotics, efficacy removal, influence crucial parameters antibiotics. Furthermore, provides critical discussion engineering application biochar. Finally, highlights prospects challenges treating antibiotic-contaminated liquid streams.
