Determination of Biosolids Phosphorus Solubility and Its Relationship to Wastewater Treatment

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH, 88(7), 602–610.

By: M. Jameson n, J. White n, D. Osmond n & T. Aziz n

author keywords: biosolids; phosphorus content; water extractable phosphorus; land application; stabilization processes; wastewater
MeSH headings : Phosphorus / analysis; Solubility; Waste Disposal, Fluid; Wastewater / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis
TL;DR: Stabilization processes appeared to reduce WEP substantially, so biosolids potential soluble-P loss is low, and this data will allow PLAT to be used for biosolid P-loss risk assessments. (via Semantic Scholar)
