Biochar (BC), charcoal produced through the pyrolysis of biomass, is reported to adsorb dissolved nitrate-nitrogen (NO ₃-N). The NO ₃-N adsorption properties of BC differ depending on the feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions, and the influences have not been systematically clarified. Therefore, we evaluated the dependence of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature on the NO ₃-N adsorption properties of BC. Wood chips [Japanese cedar [ Cryptomeria japonica ] (CE) and Japanese cypress [ Chamaecyparis obtusa ] (CY)], moso bamboo [ Phyllostachys edulis ] chips (MB), rice [ Oryza sativa ] husks (RH), sugarcane [ Saccharum officinarum ] bagasse (SB), poultry manure (PM) and domestic wastewater sludge (WS) were air-dried and heated in a batch-type carbonization furnace at pyrolysis temperatures of 400, 600 and 800°C, with a hold time of 2 h. Among the BC produced from each feedstock, the one produced at 800°C had the greatest NO ₃-N adsorption. The NO ₃-N adsorption by BC produced from wood-based biomass at 800°C was significantly higher than that of the BC produced from non-wood-based biomass at 800°C. Therefore, BC made from wood-based biomass at higher temperature can be adequate as soil amendment material for adsorption of NO ₃-N.
