Fabrication of Mg-Doped Sargassum Biochar for Phosphate and Ammonium Recovery
Biochars prepared from macro-algae have a lower C/N ratio compared to lignocellulosic biochar, which is advantageous for direct nutrition. In particular, <i>Sargassum</i>, a marine macro-algae, has a high Mg content; hence, it can be expected to adsorb P and N simultaneously. In this stu...
