Abstract

Based on recent mining rates and the exhaustion of global phosphorus (P) reserves, there is a need to mobilize P already stored in soils, and its recovery from secondary resources such as Ca- and Fe-phosphates is important. The Ca-phosphate hydroxyapatite forms a good fertilizer source, while vivianite is formed in waterlogged soils and sediments. During sludge treatment, the formation of vivianite has been identified, being mainly Fe-phosphate. Long-term P release from both hydroxyapatite and vivianite was studied using different inorganic (CaCl₂ and CaSO₄) and organic (citric and humic acid) reagents during batch experiments. Reagents CaCl₂ and CaSO₄ represent the soil solution, while citric and humic acids as organic constituents affect P availability in the rhizosphere and during the process of humification. Additionally, the flow-through reactor (FTR) technique with an infinite sink was used to study the long-term P release kinetics. The cumulative P release was higher by organic acids than by inorganic compounds. The cumulative P release rates were higher in the FTR with CaCl₂ as compared to the batch technique. The infinite sink application caused a continuously high concentration gradient between the solid and liquid phases, leading to higher desorption rates as compared to the batch technique. The predominant amount of the total P released over time was available for a short term. While inorganic anion exchange occurred at easily available binding sites, organic acids affected the more heavily available binding sites, which could be embedded within the mineral structure. The results showed that organic compounds, especially citric acid, play a superior role as compared to the inorganic constituents of the soil solution during the recovery of already stored P from the tertiary phosphates vivianite and hydroxyapatite.

Cd immobilization efficacy of biogenic Mn oxide formed by Cladosporium sp. XM01 and its biological response in sediment
2024, Journal of Hazardous Materials
Biogenic Mn oxides (BMOs), the main component of natural Mn oxides, closely relate to Cd in sediment. However, the immobilization behavior of Cd in sediments by BMOs is currently unclear. This study explores the role of BMO produced by the Mn-oxidizing fungus Cladosporium sp. XM01 in mediating the Cd immobilization and its biological response in sediment. A comparison is made with those of a chemical Mn oxide (CMO, triclinic birnessite). After 45 d of remediation, the results showed that the application of BMO reduced the extractable Cd by 32.20–64.40% based on the TCLP (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) and by 26.16–51.43% based on the PBET (physiologically based extraction test). Additionally, BMO was more effective at immobilizing Cd than CMO in sediments. The BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) extraction results suggested that BMO converted some acid-soluble components (20.63–33.23%) of Cd into residual components (9.40–20.68%). Moreover, the urease and catalase activity gradually increased within the first 25 days and then stabilized after applying BMO. Microbial community analysis revealed that the addition of a high-dose BMO was more conducive to increasing microbial abundance and biodiversity. This study verifies that BMO is a low-cost, high-efficiency, and eco-friendly material for immobilizing Cd in sediment.
Enhancing phosphorus release from sewage sludge via anaerobic treatment: State-of-art progress and future challenges
2024, Chemical Engineering Journal
Phosphorus recovery and recycling from waste streams is of great significance to achieve a sustainable phosphorus management. Daily discharged sewage contained a considerable content of phosphorus, which offers a promising phosphorus source for its recovery. Biological phosphorus removal technology is the most widely employed process for treating sewage and how to effectively extract and capture phosphorus from excess sludge becomes essential. In this review, the state-of-art progress on enhancing phosphorus release from sewage sludge via anaerobic digestion are systematically summarized and discussed. First, phosphorus species transformation during sewage treatment process and the corresponding extraction and analytical methods were summarized. Also, the different pretreatments methods and their economic costs for applying to sludge treatment was analyzed. Then, phosphorus release pathways and mechanisms from sludge under anaerobic conditions were summarized and the influence of key operation parameters on phosphorus release performance was discussed. Moreover, the current practices and achievements on enhancing phosphorus release via sludge anaerobic digestion were reviewed. Finally, the challenges associated with improving the phosphorus release efficiency from sludge and problems related to the current methods are analyzed, and major directions for future research are proposed. This review may provide valuable information for advancing the research and engineering application of phosphorus capture and recovery technology.
Deep phosphorus fertilizer placement increases maize productivity by improving root-shoot coordination and photosynthetic performance
2024, Soil and Tillage Research
It’s well known that the development and distribution of roots could be regulated to obtain deep soil resource and enhance the grain yield by increasing the depth of fertilization, but little is known about whether increasing P fertilization depth can optimize the root distribution to delay leaf senescence, enhance photosynthetic performance and root-shoot coordination or not. We conducted a field experiment that tested the following four placement depths of P fertilization: 5 cm (P₅), 10 cm (P₁₀), 15 cm (P₁₅), and 20 cm (P₂₀). The experiment was designed to explore the regulatory effects of the P fertilization depth on the root growth and distribution, the photosynthetic performance, the root-shoot coordination, the yield formation, the N and P fertilizer utilization of maize plants. We found that deep P placement did indeed alter the root parameters. In the 20–60 cm soil layer, both the root dry weight and length of P₁₅ treatment were on average 23.2% higher than those of P₅ treatment. The specific root length and specific root surface area of P₁₅ treatment were 4.5% and 5.6% higher than those of P₅ treatment. In addition, the P₁₅ treatment achieved a significantly improved photosynthetic performance over the P₅ treatment: The leaf area index at the R6 stage was 10.2% higher, the leaf senescence index from the R2 to the R6 stages was 31.4% lower, the photosynthetic rate at the R3 stage was 25.9% higher. The P placement depth also optimized the root-shoot coordination: The ratios of root weight to shoot weight, root surface area to leaf area, and root length to leaf area of P₁₅ treatment were 6.7%, 13.8%, and 12.7% higher than those of P₅ treatment, respectively. Finally, the root P and N uptake efficiency, the photosynthetic P-use efficiency, and the physiological P-use efficiency of P₁₅ treatment were all significantly higher than those of P₅ treatments. And together these responses had the effect of increasing the mature biomass by 12.5%, and the grain yield by 22.0%. In conclusion, increasing the P fertilization placement depth to 15 cm regulates the growth and development of the root system, which in turn improves the capability of plant to uptake and utilize N and P in the soil, delays the onset of leaf senescence, enhances its photosynthetic performance and biomass accumulation rate, and thus ultimately increases the yield.
Improving plant availability of recycled phosphorus with organic acids
2023, Environmental Technology and Innovation
Increasing the efficiency of phosphorus (P) use through nutrient circularity is essential for securing P sufficiency and reducing pollution. The release of P in recycled materials can be enhanced with organic acids produced from cellulose. In this study, fertilisers based on sewage sludge (SS) and poultry manure (BR) were treated with increasing levels (0 %, 8 %, and 20 %) of hydroxy carboxylic and carboxylic acid mixture to determine the effect of acidification on the availability of P and other selected elements. According to sequential extractions, acidification increased the share of labile P in both products. In SS, which was dominated by refractory metal phosphates, a higher acid dose was required for the effect, and a smaller share of total P was transformed than in the BR, which was already rich in easily accessible P. Besides P, acidification increased the mobility of several elements but induced no harmful element accumulation in ryegrass leaves. The increased P lability recorded by fractionation in SS was reflected in ryegrass P uptake, cumulative yield, apparent P recovery, and mineral-P equivalence. In BR exhibiting superiority to mineral P, the effect of acidification on plant growth and P uptake was negative. Acidification treatment offers an option to enhance the plant availability of circular P, but the treatment needs to be tailored according to product characteristics. Optimising the application rate and acid composition might allow increasing effectiveness while avoiding negative growth effects.
Proteaceae species show different strategies for phosphorus acquisition and utilisation in P poor soils in the Mediterranean-type Fynbos ecosystem
2023, Flora: Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants
Phosphorus is an essential plant macronutrient, but is deficient in soils of nutrient-poor ecosystems. Proteaceae members are characteristic of P-impoverished soils and as such, they have a specialised root adaptation, namely proteoid roots. Proteoid or cluster roots increase P acquisition from the soil for various families that occur in P-impoverished soils. Cluster root function has been shown to be dependent on edaphic features such as soil pH and P availability. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess whether two Protea proteoid rooted systems function with similar adaptive acquisition and utilisation strategies in different P-impoverished soils. Plant and soil material were sampled from two Protea species, P. repens (L.) L. and P. longifolia (A.) A., in their natural habitat. Ecto- and endo-enzymatic activities from samples were conducted to assess their acquisition and utilisation strategies each species employs, as a response to P deficiency. Protea longifolia ecto- and endo-enzymatic activities were significantly higher compared to P. repens. As P. longifolia occurred in more P-deficient soils, the ability to increase P acquisition and utilisation would be beneficial in maintaining its position in the ecosystem. Therefore, P utilisation and acquisition by these two species appear to be influenced by soil P bioavailability; playing an important role in determining adaptive mechanisms utilised by proteoid rooted species.
Potassium assisted pyrolysis of Chinese Baijiu distillers' grains to prepare biochar as controlled-release K fertilizer
2023, Science of the Total Environment
A novel K-loaded biochar as controlled-release K fertilizer was prepared through K assisted pyrolysis of distillers' grains (DGs, typical solid-byproducts of Chinese Baijiu) under different atmospheres (N₂ and CO₂) and temperatures (400 and 800 °C). The fabricated DGs-based biochar exhibited high K loading (200.20–232.33 mg/g), and the release kinetics and column leaching experiments suggested that K-loaded biochar exhibited excellent controlled release performance in a long term. Compared with other biochar, the K-loaded biochar prepared at CO₂ and 400 °C has lower cumulative release ratio of 82.35 %, and could retain the durative K release at ~0.5 % for 25 d. The release kinetics suggested that the K release behavior was dominated by dissolution, electrostatic attraction, adsorption, confinement effect, and chemical interaction. Furthermore, pot experiments revealed that K-loaded biochar could promote the growth of Komatsuna, in which the fresh weight and chlorophyll relative content of Komatsuna cultivated with biochar prepared at CO₂ and 400 °C reached 0.146 g and 41.95 after 25 d growth, respectively. The above results suggested that the K-loaded biochar exhibited excellent utilization potential as a controlled-release K fertilizer, facilitating the sustainable development and resource valorization of Baijiu industry.
