Abstract Recently, contamination of water resources with personal care products (PCPs) is severe because of increasing living standard, huge production/consumption of PCPs and increasing population. In this study, removal of three typical PCPs such as triclosan, oxybenzone, and chloroxylenol was carried out via adsorption over highly porous carbon, prepared from pyrolysis of poly-amine under suitable condition. The carbons (named PDCs) showed record high adsorptions for the three PCPs. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism could be suggested by adsorptions in wide range of pH conditions. Or, H-bonding (PCPs as H-donor) might be the main mechanism to explain the remarkable adsorption. Additionally, the used PDC could be recycled by simple solvent washing. Therefore, the PDCs could be suggested as a potential adsorbent to adsorb/purify contaminated water with PCPs. Keywords: adsorption; polyaniline-derived porous carbon; personal care products; water purification.
