Biochars from two different feedstocks (peanut shell-PB; wheat straw-WB) were used in this study to understand the sorption mechanisms of atrazine (ATR), 17 alpha-ethinyl estradiol (EE2), and phenanthrene (PHEN) to help minimize the bioavailability of the organic pollutants in the environment. Sorption isotherms of ATR, EE2, and PHEN by WB and PB biochars followed the Freundlich model where the sorption parameter (n) shows the trend: ATR>EE2 and PHEN, while the sorption capacity (log K-oc) increases from ATR
