“…The adsorption method is considered to be more convenient, easy to operate, and safe without causing secondary pollution. A number of adsorption materials are used, including biochar [10,11], activated carbon [12], construction and demolition waste [13], fly ash [14], and various natural or modified composite adsorbents [15]. Modified composite adsorbents include Fe-based compounds [16], calcium-based compounds [17], mercurybased compositions [18], merger-based compounds, and so on [19].…”

The release of endogenous phosphorus (P) from sediments is the main cause of lake eutrophication, even after the successful control of exogenous P. Among others, the release of iron-bound P is a major source of endogenous P, and it is necessary to reduce the P concentration by enhancing iron–phosphorus binding. Iron (Fe)-modified biochar adsorption is an effective and widely used method for fixing P in sediments. In this paper, the modification method, mechanism, and application effect of Fe-modified biochar are reviewed. It is found that most of the modification methods are realized through a physicochemical pathway. Therefore, the prospect of biochar modification through a biological pathway is presented. In particular, the possible application of iron-oxidizing bacteria (IOB) for promoting iron–phosphorus binding and biochar modifications is discussed. The potential effects of biochar additions on microbial communities in water and sediments are also discussed. In the future research, emphasis should be placed on the adsorption mechanism and effect analysis in simulated polluted environments before large-scale use, to ensure the economic practicability and sustainability of Fe-modified biochar applications.
