Herein, polyethylenimine (PEI)-grafted nitrogen (N)-doping magnetic biochar (PEIMW@MNBCBM) was synthesized, and characterization results showed that the microwave-assisted PEI grafting and ball milling-assisted N doping introduced abundant amino, pyridine N and pyrrole N structures onto biochar, which possessed high affinity to Cr(VI) in the anion form. The as-prepared PEIMW@MNBCBM displayed pH-dependence adsorption performance and high tolerance to co-existing ions with maximum uptake capacity of Cr(VI) identified as 183.02 mg/g. Furthermore, PEIMW@MNBCBM could bind Cr(VI) through electrostatic attraction, complexion, precipitation, reduction and pore filling. Especially, effective reduction of Cr(VI) was ascribed to cooperative electron transfer of partial oxygen-containing functional groups, intramolecular pyridine/pyrrole N, protonated amino and Fe²⁺ on the adsorbent, while oxygen-containing and amino functional groups from N-doping biochar and PEI synergistically complexed Cr(III) via providing lone pair electrons to form coordinate bonds. Furthermore, the stable precipitation was formed between Fe³⁺ and Cr(III). Additionally, the Cr(VI) elimination efficiency could maintain 95.83% even after four adsorption-desorption cycles, suggesting PEIMW@MNBCBM as a high-performance adsorbent for Cr(VI) contaminated water remediation.
