RESUMEN
Phosphorus modified biochar (P-BC) is an effective adsorbent for wastewater remediation, which has attracted widespread attention due to its low cost, vast source, unique surface structure, and abundant functional groups. However, there is currently no comprehensive analysis and review of P-BC in wastewater remediation. In this study, a detailed introduction is given to the synthesis method of P-BC, as well as the effects of pyrolysis temperature and residence time on physical and chemical properties and adsorption performance of the material. Meanwhile, a comprehensive investigation and evaluation were conducted on the different biomass types and phosphorus sources used to synthesize P-BC. This article also systematically compared the adsorption efficiency differences between P-BC and raw biochar, and summarized the adsorption mechanism of P-BC in removing pollutants from wastewater. In addition, the effects of P-BC composite with other materials (element co-doping, polysaccharide stabilizers, microbial loading, etc.) on physical and chemical properties and pollutant adsorption capacity of the materials were investigated. Some emerging applications of P-BC were also introduced, including supercapacitors, CO2 adsorbents, carbon sequestration, soil heavy metal remediation, and soil fertility improvement. Finally, some valuable suggestions and prospects were proposed for the future research direction of P-BC to achieve the goal of multiple utilization.
