Three chemical immobilization materials, agricultural limestone (AL), mineral rock phosphate (RP), and diammonium phosphate (DAP), were evaluated using solute transport experiments to determine their ability to reduce subsurface heavy metal transport in a smelter contaminated soil. Percent reductions in metals transported were based on comparison with cumulative totals of metal species eluted t...

The emergence of biological phosphate esters glycerol could have been a crucial step in the origin and evolution life on early Earth as phosphates today play central role biochemistry. We investigate here formation by employing various rock samples, salts, minerals potential catalysts to aid phosphorylation process. report synthesis including glycerol-1-phosphate, glycerol-2-phosphate, cyclic g...

background and objectives: azotobacter is a diazotroph bacterium reported to possess various plant growth-promoting characteristics.the aim of this study was to isolate azotobacter strains capable of fixing nitrogen and effectively hydrolyzing both organic and inorganic pi compounds. materials and methods: in this study, soil samples collected from a diverse range of slightly alkaline soil type...

The Brazilian phosphate fertilizer is obtained by wet reaction of igneous phosphate rock with concentrated sulphuric acid, giving as final product, phosphoric acid and dehydrated calcium sulphate (phosphogypsum) as by-products. Phosphoric acid is the starting material for triple superphosphate (TSP), single superphosphate (SSP), monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP). The p...

background: the effective size of the end grain of horizontal roughing filters (hrfs) is larger than 2 mm. this study aimed to examine the efficiency of hrfs in removing nitrate, phosphate, and chemical oxygen demand (cod) from effluent of a wastewater stabilization pond. methods: this experimental study was conducted in 2013. the pilot project was transferred to the karaj wastewater treatment ...

phosphate solubilizing bacteria are a group of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) that increase growth and yield of plant by enhancing insoluble phosphates. in this study, a greenhouse experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and phosphorous fertilizer on the yield and chemical components of sesame. this experiment was conducted in factori...

Phosphate-induced immobilization is recognized as one of effective in situ remediation methods for heavy metal contaminated soils. Phosphate-based minerals that adsorb, chelate, or complex heavy metals in soil were greatly concerned as effective heavy metals immobilizing materials. Effects of particle sizes of rock phosphate on immobilizing heavy metals in Pb-Zn mine soils by a greenhouse exper...

Dymond's 1951 compost experiments with filter cake and Langebaan phosphate rock were continued in 1952. Composting increased the citric solubility of the phosphoric oxide in the rock, although not to .the same extent as in the 1951 experiments. Citric solubility decreased with increasing quantities of phosphate rock. Field trials on sugar cane in Natal have been initiated to determine the avail...
