2. INVESTIGATION OF PHOSPHORUS SORPTION BY SEDIMENT DERIVED BIOCHAR - A LITERATURE REVIEW
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknikAbstract : As excess phosphorus in water bodies causes eutrophication, biochar can be used as an adsorbent to remove phosphorus from water, thus increasing the circularity of phosphorus in the society. This literature review is a summary of recent research on optimised uptake of phosphorus by sediment derived biochar. READ MORE

4. The role of bed sediments for sorption of phosphorus in remediated ditches in Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Human activities have increased nutrient losses to agricultural ditches and streams, including phosphorus. Phosphorus leakage leads to a worsening of water quality in downstream ecosystems, including lakes and seas. In addition, higher phosphorus concentrations lead to eutrophication, which negatively affects aquatic systems. READ MORE
