Journal ArticleDOI

Plant uptake of non-ionic organic chemicals from soils

TL;DR: In this article, simple properties of chemicals -half-life (T1/2), log octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow) and Henery's Law constant (Hc) -were developed to screen organic chemicals for potential plant uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of water treatment residuals on phosphorus solubility and leaching.

TL;DR: The phosphorus saturation index (PSI) based on a simple oxalate extraction of the WTR and biosolids is potentially useful for determining WTR application rates for controlled reduction of P in drainage when biosolid are applied to low P-sorbing soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy metal sequential extraction methods—A modification for tropical soils

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a sequential fractionation procedure for Cu and Zn in tropical soils and performed on surface (0-20 cm) samples of ten representative soils of Sao Paulo State, Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorus Leaching from Biosolids‐Amended Sandy Soils

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated P forms and leachability of eight biosolids products, chicken manure (CM), and commercial fertilizer (triple superphosphate, TSP) for Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) for 4 mo on two acid, P-deficient Florida sands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorus Immobilization in Micropores of Drinking-Water Treatment Residuals: Implications for Long-Term Stability

TL;DR: Phosphorus sorption kinetics by the WTRs exhibited a slow phase that followed an initial rapid phase, as typically occurs with metal hydroxides, which may be explained by intraparticle P diffusion in micropores.
