This invention discloses an alkali-modified
biochar for highly efficient
ammonia nitrogen adsorption, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of environmental functional materials technology. Using
rice straw as
raw material, the invention prepares alkali-modified
biochar through strong alkali impregnation combined with high-temperature activation in a
nitrogen atmosphere, significantly increasing its specific surface area, mesoporous structure ratio, and number of
oxygen-containing functional groups. In the alkali-modified
biochar, mesopores with a pore size of 2-5 nm account for ≥65.5% of the total pore volume, giving it both high adsorption capacity for
ammonia nitrogen and stable, controllable slow-release performance. In
crop cultivation, the alkali-modified biochar, after
granulation, can be used as a slow-release
nutrient material for
soil nitrogen retention, reducing nitrogen leaching loss and thus improving
nutrient utilization efficiency and promoting
crop growth. It can also be applied to the adsorption and removal of
ammonia nitrogen in water bodies. Furthermore, the preparation process of the alkali-modified biochar is simple, the raw materials are readily available, and it is
environmentally friendly, possessing dual value in
pollution control and
resource utilization in the field of green agricultural planting.
