The permanent problem of formation of algal blooms in water polluted with nitrogen and phosphorus is one of the formidable environmental problems. Biochar has the potential to solve the issues related to eutrophication due to its special structure and ability to absorb the nutrients. Biochar's exceptional nutrient absorption capacity allows it to absorb excess nutrients, causing the algae to use fewer nutrients. This review deals with effective performance of biochar in reducing the effects caused by algal blooms and improving the environmental conditions. Besides, an analysis of the issues involved addresses the origins and consequences of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution, and the formation of algal blooms is also reviewed. It then delves deeply into biochar, explaining its properties, production methods, and their uses in environmental contexts. The review emphasizes that biochar can be effective in dealing with many challenges associated with environments affected by algal blooms, specifically focusing on the positive effects of biochar and algae to examine their roles in controlling algae growth. Finally, the review emphasizes new achievements and innovative ideas to foster sustainable aquatic ecosystems. The discussions emphasize the central role of biochar in managing nutrient-rich waters and algal blooms.
受氮、磷污染的水体中藻类大量繁殖的永久性问题是严峻的环境问题之一。生物炭由于其特殊的结构和吸收养分的能力,具有解决富营养化问题的潜力。生物炭卓越的养分吸收能力可以吸收多余的养分,使藻类利用更少的养分。本综述讨论了生物炭在减轻藻类大量繁殖造成的影响和改善环境条件方面的有效性能。此外,还对氮、磷污染的来源和后果以及藻类大量繁殖的形成进行了分析。然后深入探讨了生物炭,解释了其性质、生产方法及其在环境背景下的应用。综述强调,生物炭在应对受藻类大量繁殖影响的环境的许多挑战方面是有效的,特别关注生物炭和藻类的积极作用,以检验它们在控制藻类生长中的作用。最后,综述强调了新的成就和创新思路,以促进可持续的水生生态系统。讨论强调了生物炭在管理富营养化水域和藻类大量繁殖方面的核心作用。
