Steroid estrogen residues (SEs) in the soil have attracted growing attention because of their potential for endocrine disruption. Soil organic matter (SOM) and soil remediation agent-biochar, both have important influences on the fate of SEs in the soil environment. This study compared the adsorption of 17β-estradiol (E2) on wheat straw biochar (W-BC) and cow manure biochar (C-BC) with main SOM components including biomacromolecules (cellulose, collagen and lignin) and humic acids (HA). The impact of pyrolysis temperature (350 °C, 550 °C, and 700 °C) on the adsorption capacity of biochar and different concentrations NaClO oxidation on the adsorption capacity of HA were also investigated. The experimental results showed that the adsorption of E2 by biomolecules conformed to the linear isotherm (R² > 0.88), and the adsorption of E2 on biochars and HA were well described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm (R² > 0.94). Meanwhile, the order of the E2 adsorption capacity of sorbents was W-BC > C-BC > HA > lignin > collagen > cellulose. The adsorption capacity of biochar and SOM for E2 increased with the enhancement of aromaticity and hydrophobicity and the reduction of polarity. In addition, the increase of pyrolysis temperature of biochars also promoted the adsorption capacity of E2, while oxidation treatment with NaClO reduced the adsorption capacity of HA to E2. These results deepened the understanding of the adsorption behaviour of E2 on SOM and biochar, and expanded the understanding of the behaviour of SEs in the soil environment.
