Ammonium phosphate (AP), phosphoric acid (PC), and potassium phosphate (TKP) were used for the modification of biochar for enhanced heavy metal passivation in soil. The effect of various phosphorus (P) precursors on adsorption-related properties, P speciation distribution pattern, and the passivation mechanism was investigated by BET, FTIR, XRD, XPS, and ³¹P NMR analysis. The mobility and bio-availability of cadmium (Cd) were studied by extraction experiments, and the P release kinetics was also determined. Results showed that the immobilization efficiency of Cd (II) by biochars followed the order: TKP-BC > PC-BC > AP-BC > BC, and TKP-BC reduced available Cd content by 81% treated with 2% addition. The P speciation shows a significant effect on the P-enriched biochars’ passivation performance, especially orthophosphate, which is essential for the immobilization of Cd²⁺ by forming phosphate precipitation. Pyrophosphate and orthophosphate monoester in AP-BC and PC-BC can promote Cd²⁺ passivation via the formation of P–Cd complexes or organometallic chelates. It is also shown that PC-BC has the lowest P release rate while TKP-BC has the highest percentage of P (15.50%) remaining in the biochar. The results may contribute to the development of modified biochar for soil remediation based on P-related technologies.
