Article Synopsis
- Phosphorus is essential for plant growth, but overusing P fertilizers leads to environmental pollution and low usage efficiency.
- This study tested biochar-based fertilizers (BBFs) made from algae and hazelnut shells mixed with traditional triple superphosphate (TSP) to evaluate their slow-release capabilities.
- Results showed that BBFs released phosphorus much slower than TSP, suggesting they could improve phosphorus use in crops, boost yields, and reduce the negative environmental impact of fertilizer runoff.
The impact of bioreduction on the remobilization of adsorbed cadmium Cd(II) on minerals, including hematite, goethite, and two iron(III)-rich clay minerals nontronites (NAU-1 and NAU-2) under anoxic conditions was investigated. Langmuir isotherm equation better described the sorption of Cd(II) onto the all minerals. The maximum adsorption capacity was 6.

Adsorption of As(V) on various clay minerals including kaolinite (KGa-1), montmorillonite (SWy-1) and nontronites (NAU-1 and NAU-2), and subsequent bioreduction of sorbed As(V) to As(III) by bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens strain CN-32 were investigated. Nontronites showed relatively higher sorption capacity for As(V) primarily due to higher iron oxide content. Freundlich equation well described the sorption of As(V) on NAU-1, NAU-2 and SWy-1, while As(V) sorption isotherm with KGa-1 fitted well in the Langmuir model.
