2. 11. Analysis and speciation of organic phosphorus in environmental matrices : Development of methods to improve 31P NMR analysis

   Author : Johan Vestergren; Gröbner Gerhard; Jurgen Schleucher; Ulrik Ilstedt; Per Persson; Reiner Giesler; Benjamin L. Turner; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phosphorus; soil; 31P NMR; NaOH EDTA; terrestrial; sulfide; speciation; bioavailability; paramagnetic; humus; boreal; tropical; multi-dimensional; agroforestry; chronosequence; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

   Abstract : Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for life on our planet. It is central in numerous biochemical processes in terrestrial and aqueous ecosystems including food production; and it is the primary growth-limiting nutrient in some of the world’s biomes. READ MORE

4. 12. Phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge fluidized bed gasification processes

   Author : Thomas Karl Hannl; Marcus Öhman; Matthias Kuba; Nils Skoglund; Flemming Jappe Frandsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gasification; sewage sludge; agricultural residues; bed material; fluidized bed; feldspar; ash transformation; potassium; phosphorus; ICP-AES MS; SEM; EDS; XRD; thermodynamic equilibrium modeling; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : One of the most sustainable pathways of sewage sludge treatment in recent years has been thermal conversion. The benefits of thermal treatment of sewage sludge are the recovery of energy or valuable chemical products, the destruction of harmful organic compounds, the separation of heavy metals from the P-rich coarse ash fraction, and the decreased and sanitized ash volume.

5. 13. Microalgae for Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater in a Nordic Climate

   Author : Karin Larsdotter; Gunnel Dalhammar; Jörgen Hanaeus; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; assimilation; hydroponics; light; microalgae; nitrogen; phosphorus; plants; precipitation; wastewater treatment; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : As part of a research project aiming to develop and evaluate a hydroponic system for wastewater treatment in Sweden, extended nutrient removal by microalgae was tested. The hydroponic/microalgal wastewater treatment system was built in a greenhouse in order to improve growth conditions for plants and algae. READ MORE

6. 14. Phosphorus recycling from wastewater to agriculture using reactive filter media

   Author : Victor Cucarella Cabañas; Gunno Renman; Dan Berggren Kleja; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Filtra P; phosphorus; Polonite; recycling; sorption; wollastonite; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

   Abstract : This thesis focused on testing the suitability of reactive filter media used for phosphorus (P) removal from wastewater as fertilizers, thus recycling P to agriculture. The work compared the P sorption capacity of several materials in order to assess their suitability as a source of P for plants. READ MORE

7. 15. Global Phosphorus supply chain dynamics: Sustainability implications for the 21st century

   Author : Claudiu Eduard Nedelciu; Ingrid Stjernquist; Kristin Vala Ragnarsdottir; Birgit Kopainski; Pål Börjesson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phosphorus; supply chain; food security; circularity; systems thinking; system dynamics modeling; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

   Abstract : Phosphorus is an essential yet irreplaceable macronutrient for agriculture and thus plays a key role in global food security. Most of the phosphate fertilizers are produced from phosphate rock, a finite mineral resource that is mined and processed at great environmental and social costs. READ MORE
