Abstract Runoff pollution resulting from road construction, maintenance, and transportation activities poses a threat to the survival and reproduction of aquatic and terrestrial organisms in roadside environments. To improve the purification capacity of road drainage filtration systems for toxic heavy metal pollutants, biochar composite filter media (BCFM) was developed using corn straw biochar, diatomite, syderolife, sodium silicate, and polyurethane. The adsorption characteristics, mechanisms, and purification performance of BCFM were investigated through static and adsorption kinetic experiments, microscopic analyses, and column filtration tests. Results indicate that appropriate proportions of diatomite and syderolife enhance the surface and pore physicochemical properties of BCFM, thereby improving its adsorption capacity for heavy metals. The BCFM with a mass ratio of biochar to diatomite to syderolife of 6∶1∶1 exhibited adsorption rates of 71.20% for Pb, 63.05% for Zn, and 62.38% for Cd. It displayed a rough surface morphology, a highly open porous structure, and an increased presence of oxygen-containing functional groups such as -COOH and -OH. After adsorption of Pb2+ and Zn2+, new diffraction peaks were observed. The adsorption of Pb2+ and Zn2+ is predominantly governed by chemical adsorption, whereas that of Cd2+ is mainly controlled by physical adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities for Pb2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ were 5.827 67 mg/g, 4.606 02 mg/g, and 3.821 70 mg/g, respectively. BCFM with graded particle sizes demonstrated superior heavy metal purification efficacy compared to uniformly sized media. Layered configurations based on particle size gradation further improved purification efficiency and operational performance. Based on these findings, a method was proposed for the preparation and structural optimization of BCFM targeting heavy metal pollutants. It contributes to the control of road runoff pollution through improved filtration system materials and structural design.
