Caffeine in aquatic ecosystems is an emerging contaminant causing significant environmental concern. In this work, spent coffee ground (SCG) was pyrolyzed at 300, 450, and 600 °C to produce pristine SCG biochars (CG), which were then ball-milled (BMCG). A batch experiment with showed that 450 had the highest capacities adsorb caffeine. Subsequently, CG450 (BMCG450) selected for further analysis. The results ball milling dramatically augmented specific surface area oxygen-containing functional groups of biochar. Langmuir maximum caffeine adsorption capacity 82.65 mg/g. Both solution pH ionic strength affected removal by BMCG450. As increased, increased electrostatic repulsion limited onto However, increase ion slightly enhanced because screening effect cations. biochar also high efficiency a completely mixed flow reactor under continuous conditions. Our study indicates can serve as viable sorbent from water.
