Results showed that the Zn/Mn–BC had the highest OTC adsorption capacity (60.81 mg/g) and exhibited finer separation performance at low OTC concentrations. Notably, Zn/Mn–BC can keep a high removal rate (75.86%) of OTC after 5 cycles. The kinetic and isotherm models reveal that the adsorption process is multi-layer chemisorption. Thermodynamic data indicates that OTC adsorption by Zn/Mn–BC is an exothermic, spontaneous process with decreasing entropy. In addition, the possible mechanisms of adsorption are mainly electrostatic, hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking interactions, and especially metal oxide bonds (M–O) for OTC removal.
