Cr(VI) is a common pollutant in wastewater and many previous studies using biochar-based materials as adsorbents for their well adsorption performance. However, the preparations of some biochars are complex, uneconomical, and with a poor reusability, which set limit on their practical application. Here, a mesoporous-rich biochar-based Cr(VI) adsorbent was easily prepared by pyrolyzing the badam-shell that in situ activated by concentrated phosphoric acid (H3PO4), with the aim of improving the removal effect of Cr(VI) in an aqueous solution. The partition coefficient (PC) was used to compare the performance of adsorbents more comprehensively, and the maximal PC value of the activated badam-shell biochar (ABSB) was 978.8 L g(-1). In addition, its maximum adsorption capacity was 276.6 mg g(-1). ABSB has a superior removal effect on the relatively low concentration of Cr(VI) (
