Herein, a novel Zn-loaded biochar (Zn-LBC) originating from Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh leaves was successfully prepared through a simple and rapid self-propagating combustion reaction (SHS) and could serve as an efficient adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) elimination from water. The adsorption perfo...
