Abstract. The acceptability of novel bone char fertilizers depends on their P release, but reactions at bone char surfaces and impacts on soil P speciation are insufficiently known. By using sequential fractionation and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy we i…

Leinweber P., Hagemann P., Kebelmann L., Kebelmann K., Morshedizad M. (2018.0). Bone Char As a Novel Phosphorus Fertilizer. , Singapore: Springer Singapore.

Bone char is the product of a thermochemical conversion of defatted bones. This chapter summarizes the state of the art in the technical pyrolysis process, resulting physicochemical properties and other characteristics of bone chars and possible applications. Special emphasis is put on the solubilit…

Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic experiments were carried out during phosphate adsorption on highly crystalline gibbsite, poorly crystalline 2-line-ferrihydrite and amorphous iron–aluminum–hydroxide mixtures in the molar ratio 1:0, 10:1, 5:1, 1:1, 1:5, 1:10 and 0:1. The OH stretching…

Phosphorus is not a physically scarce resource but more than 90% of the stock is not technically extractable today. Economic scarcity takes this and other aspects into consideration. The price spike in 2007/8 induced a scientific debate on a 'peak P' similar to the dispute on the oil peak back in th…

The scarcity of Phosphorus (P) is a global concern which is not restricted to Western industrialised nations. To date, most countries in the world are highly dependent on importing scarce mineral P fertiliser for agriculture. This contribution examines the industrialised country Germany, the emergin…

Phosphorus (P) is a limited resource but plays an important role in crop production. Because of the high P binding capacity in soils, changes in soil P availability due to different P management practices generally occur slowly. This study evaluated data of two long-term field experiments in Germany…
