Herein, magnetic porous pinecone-derived hydrochar (MPHCMW) co-activated by KHCO₃ and K₂FeO₄ through one-step microwave-assisted pyrolysis was innovatively synthesized for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and anthracene (ANT) removal from water. The analyses of characterization consequences and co-activation mechanisms not merely proved the high specific surface area (703.97 m²/g) and remarkable microporous structures of MPHCMW caused by the synergistic chemical activation of KHCO₃ and K₂FeO₄, but also testified successful loading of Fe⁰ and Fe₃O₄ on MPHCMW by the process of carbothermal reduction between K₂FeO₄ and carbon matrix of hydrochar. The resultant MPHCMW possessed pH-dependence for Cr(VI), while adsorption for ANT was hardly impacted by the pH of solution. Moreover, the adsorption processes of MPHCMW could attain equilibrium within 60 min for Cr(VI) and 30 min for ANT with multiple kinetics, and the corresponding adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) and ANT was 128.15 and 60.70 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, the adsorption percentages of MPBCMW for Cr(VI)/ANT was maintained at 87.87/82.64% after three times of adsorption-desorption cycles. Furthermore, pore filling, complexation, electrostatic interaction, reduction and ion exchange were testified to enhance the removal of Cr(VI), while the ANT removal was achieved via π-π stacking, complexation, pore filling and hydrogen bonding force.
