Sorption media with mixes of some recycled materials, such as sawdust and tire crumbs, combined with sand/silt and limestone, become appealing in nutrient removal for promoting urban stormwater management with sustainability implications. This article aims to present a specific type of functionalized filter medium and examine its physicochemical process for nutrient removal with the aid of Lang...

Water treatment residues (WTR), the by-products of the production of potable water, are chemically benign, inorganic materials which are suitable for disposal by land application, though they are frequently reported to have high phosphorus (P) sorption capacities. An understanding of the distribution of inherent P in WTR is, however, required, if sorption-desorption processes are to be correctl...

The importance of subsoil features for phosphorus (P) leaching is frequently mentioned, but subsoil effects are still poorly documented. This study examined whether the subsoil of four agricultural Swedish soils (two sand and two clay) functioned as a source or sink for P leaching by measuring P leaching from intact soil columns with topsoil (1.05 m deep) and without topsoil (0.77 m deep) over ...

A new supermicroporous chromium oxophenylphosphate (CPP-1) has been synthesized using phenylphosphonic acid (PPA) as phosphorus source under hydrothermal condition at 443 K without using any structuredirecting agent (SDA). The material has been characterized by powder XRD, FE SEM-EDS, TEM, TG-DTA, N2 sorption, XPS, FT IR, UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques and CHN chemical analysis. CPP-1 showed s...

It is well established that shallow tillage (ST) and no-tillage (NT) of cultivated soils can have higher risk dissolved phosphorus (P) loss during runoff than conventional (CT). However, quantitative descriptors how differences in practices influence soil P sorption properties these turn remain lacking. Moreover, the on forms P, particularly molybdate unreactive (MUDP), has rarely been investig...

IRMOF-3 nano/microcrystals with controllable morphologies and sizes were successfully obtained by a simple solvothermal method. The shape evolution of IRMOF-3 crystals from cube to truncated cube, cuboctahedron, truncated octahedron and finally to octahedron was achieved by adjusting the amount of surfactant. The surfaces of the IRMOF-3 nano/microstructures are affected by the reaction temperat...
