The reed biochar was chemically modified using hydrochloric acid, dicyandiamide, and magnesium chloride as activators. This study investigated the effects of varying pH values, addition amounts, and initial solution concentrations on the nitrate nitrogen adsorption capacity of four types of biochar. Additionally, the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic characteristics of the biochars for nitrate nitrogen removal were analyzed. When reed straw is pre-carbonized at 500℃ for 2hours and subsequently activated with modified materials at 700℃ for 2hours, the resultant dicyandiamide-modified biochar (DBC) exhibits the best adsorption performance, achieving a removal efficiency of 75.5%. Compared to unmodified biochar (BC), the surface morphology of the modified biochars becomes more concave, with denser pores, increased functional groups, and a specific surface area enhanced by 7 to 10 times. When the potassium nitrate concentration is 500mg/L, the optimal dosages are 1g for BC, DBC, and magnesium chloride-modified biochar (MBC), and 0.8g for hydrochloric acid-modified biochar (HBC). The nitrate nitrogen adsorption performance of DBC is favorable in a slightly alkaline environment, with the highest adsorption capacity observed at a pH of 9. The nitrate nitrogen adsorption behavior of all four biochars aligns well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and their isothermal adsorption curves fit the Langmuir equation, suggesting predominantly monomolecular layer adsorption. Overall, DBC demonstrates excellent nitrate nitrogen adsorption performance and offers a promising solution for mitigating nitrate pollution in aquatic environments.
