    Mg-modified nanobiochar from spent coffee grounds was prepared and evaluated for its phosphate removal efficiency and potential as a phosphorus-release fertilizer. The nanobiochar was obtained through pyrolysis and acid digestion of biochar from spent coffee grounds. Batch experiments showed that phosphate adsorption on the Mg-modified nanobiochar was favored under acidic conditions, with a maximum removal of 95% at pH 1. Adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second order model and equilibrium data fit best to the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating uniform monolayer adsorption with a maximum capacity of 100 mg/g. Pot tests demonstrated that phosphate-laden Mg-modified nanobiochar improved plant growth

    ABSTRACT
    Phosphate enrichment of the aquatic system often impacts their aesthetic and ecological values.
    Hence, phosphate recovery is essential to maintain the quality of aquatic systems and ensure
    sustainable use of phosphorous. Herein, Mg-modified nanobiochar from spent coffee grounds
    (Mg/NBC) is proposed as an efficient adsorbent for phosphate recovery, and as a phosphorous-
    release fertilizer. The nanobiochar was obtained by acid digestion of the biochar resulting from
    pyrolysis. The effect of parameters viz: pH, contact time, the dose of adsorbent and initial
    concentration on the adsorption was investigated in batch experiments. Results indicated that
    phosphate adsorption on Mg/NBC is favored in acidic conditions with maximum adsorption
    (95%) at pH 1. Mg/NBC showed a 12.84% improvement in the adsorption efficiency than the
    pristine nanobiochar. Characterizations of the adsorbent before and after adsorption suggested
    that phosphate is involved in both physisorption and chemisorption. Adsorption of phosphate
    followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with an equilibrium constant (K2) of 0.029 g/mg.min. The
    Langmuir adsorption isotherm model is better fitted to the equilibrium data with a maximum
    adsorption capacity of 100 mg/g suggesting uniform monolayer adsorption. Results of the pot
    test showed that phosphate laden Mg/NBC improved the growth of garlic and beans plants by 10
    and 5% respectively. The result highlights the utility of phosphate-laden Mg/NBC as a
    phosphorous-release fertilizer and illustrates a circular economy approach for spent coffee
    grounds. In summary, Mg-modi¦ed nanobiochar from spent coffee was prepared by pyrolysis and
    subsequent acid digestion was used as an effective adsorbent for phosphate removal and
    subsequent utility as phosphorous release fertilizer. Future researchers are recommended to study
    how to protect the potential leaching of metals from modified adsorbents.
