The activated biochar (ABC) was prepared, characterized and examined the feasibility of removing ethylparaben (EP) from aqueous solution. The characterization results showed that ABC possessed multi-porous structure and high surface area. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted the Langmuir isotherm and the adsorption kinetic followed the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity of EP onto ABC was 349.65 mg/g at 298 K. The adsorption capacity maintained 90.82% after five successive adsorption/desorption cycles. ABC possessed high adsorption capacity, usability and stability, which indicating that ABC has great potential to be a promising adsorbent for removal of EP from aqueous solution.
