The present application relates to the technical field of
groundwater monitoring, and in particular to a porous material for
groundwater monitoring, and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The preparation method for the porous material provided in the present application comprises the following steps: mixing hydrophobically modified
sodium alginate,
biochar, a mineral material, a pore-forming agent, and a stabilizer to form a
mixed solution; and dropwise adding the
mixed solution into a
metal salt solution, and performing heat treatment to obtain a porous material. In the present application, the hydrophobically modified
sodium alginate used as a
capsule wall and the mineral material used as a support structure are compounded with the
biochar to form a
composite material in the
metal salt solution, and during the heat treatment, the
composite material forms, under the action of the pore-forming agent, a porous material having multiple channels. The time of retention of the porous material in water can be prolonged by using the characteristic of low
solubility of the hydrophobically modified
sodium alginate in water, and the porous material can adsorb microorganisms in water by using the adsorption performance of the
biochar; in addition, the porous material provides more active sites for the attachment of microorganisms.
