Mangrove biochar residue was used for nitrogen adsorption and retention in sediment, which is beneficial plant germination. The present study investigated the effect of contact time (5–360 min), dosage (0.2–2 g L?1), pH (5–6), initial concentration (2–10 mg L?1) on NH4+-N NO3?-N adsorption. Three different isotherm models were to fit experimental data. Column leaching experiments conducted inve...
