This study assembled corn stalk-derived biochar (BC) with layered double hydroxide (LDH) through a rapid coprecipitation of biochar and metal (Ni/Fe/Zn) hydroxide precipitates. A BC and LDH composite (BC-LDH) and modified BC-LDH material after heating (BC-LDH-P) were prepared successfully for atrazine adsorptive removal. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Batch experiments were conducted to study the sorption of atrazine onto BC, BC-LDH, and BC-LDH-P from the aqueous solution. The adsorption of atrazine onto BC-LDH and BC-LDH-P were performed following with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the sorption isotherms agreed well with the Freundlich fitting model. The adsorption amounts of the three materials are arranged in descending order is as follows: BC-LDH-P > BC-LDH > BC (143.15 > 123.10 > 95.93 mg g −1 , respectively). Due to the high crystallinity of the LDH material and the high binding degree with biochar, Ni/Fe/Zn-LDH biochar composites offer a potential alternative to a carbon-based adsorbent for atrazine removal from aqueous solution.

Microalga is a general term for autotrophic single-cell microalgae that can perform photosynthesis. It has various species, wide distribution, rich resources, rapid growth and strong adaptability. Chlorella is a unicellular green microalga rich in protein, polysaccharides, carotenoids, vitamins and other nutrients. It has broad application prospects and has been gradually applied in the fields of food (Matos,
