Abstract
To address environmental pollution induced by coexisting antibiotics, a three-dimensional porous boron nitride meteorite adsorbent (P-BNM) with hierarchical architecture was fabricated via a MgO template-assisted approach. The adsorption performance was systematically investigated for three representative antibiotics: tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC), and ciprofloxacin (CIP). The optimized porous structure with enhanced surface area enabled removal efficiencies of 84.9 %, 84.2 %, and 93.7 % for TC, OTC, and CIP, respectively. Effective regeneration of spent P-BNM was demonstrated through thermal treatment at 500 °C for 2 h, retaining removal efficiencies above 88 %, 90 %, and 92 % for TC, OTC, and CIP over five consecutive cycles. This study elucidates that constructing hierarchical BN architectures via MgO-assisted templating enables superior adsorption capacity and size-selective antibiotic removal through precisely tailored pore structures. The developed adsorbent shows promising potential for implementation in advanced water treatment systems.
