Phosphorus migration from sediment to phosphorus-inactivating material: A key process neglected by common phosphorus immobilization assessments for lake geoengineering. WATER RESEARCH X 2023; 21:100197. [PMID: 37655163 PMCID: PMC10466892 DOI: 10.1016/j.wroa.2023.100197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Various phosphorus (P)-inactivating materials with a strong capability of immobilizing P in sediment have been developed for lake geoengineering purposes to control internal P pollution. However, unsatisfactory applications have raised concerns about the reliability of the method. This study hypothesized that P migration from sediment to material is a key process regulating the immobilization, which is often neglected by common assessment procedures that assume that the material is closely in contact with sediment (e.g., as mixtures). To verify this hypothesis, 90-day incubation tests were conducted using drinking water treatment residue (DWTR). The results showed that the soluble P in the overlying water of sediment-DWTR mixtures and the mobile P in the mixtures were substantially reduced from the initial period and remained low during the whole incubation tests. However, assessment based on separated samples indicated a gradual P migration from sediment to DWTR for immobilization. Even after 90 days of incubation, mobile P still accounted for ∼5.33% of total P in the separated sediment. Further analysis suggested that using mixtures of sediment with DWTR accelerated P migration during the assessment, leading to a faster P immobilization assessment. Considering the relatively low levels of mobile P in the separated DWTR during incubation, the gradual decrease in mobile P in the separated sediment indicates that sediment P release regulates P immobilization efficiency. Therefore, designing a proper strategy to ensure sufficient time for the material to remain in close contact with the target sediment is critical to reducing uncertainties in lake geoengineering.

Abstract
The use of in situ active capping to control phosphorus release from sediment has attracted more and more attentions in recent years. It is important to identify the effect of capping mode on the control of phosphorus release from sediment by the in situ active capping method. In this study, the impact of capping mode on the restraint of phosphorus migration from sediment into overlying water (OW) by lanthanum hydroxide (LH) was studied. Under no suspended particulate matter (SPM) deposition condition, LH capping effectively restrained the liberation of endogenous phosphorus into OW during anoxia, and the inactivation of diffusive gradient in thin film-unstable phosphorus (UPDGT) and mobile phosphorus (PMobile) in the topmost sediment served as a significant role in the restraint of endogenous phosphorus migration into OW by LH capping. Under no SPM deposition, although the transformation of capping mode from the single high dose capping to the multiple smaller doses capping had a certain negative impact on the restraint efficiency of endogenous phosphorus liberation to OW by LH in the early period of application, it increased the stability of phosphorus in the static layer in the later period of application. Under SPM deposition condition, LH capping had the capability to mitigate the risk of endogenous phosphorus liberation into OW under anoxia conditions, and the inactivation of UPDGT and PMobile in the topmost sediment was a significant mechanism for the control of sediment phosphorus liberation into OW by LH capping. Under SPM deposition condition, the change in the covering mode from the one-time high dose covering to the multiple smaller doses covering decreased the efficiency of LH to limit the endogenous phosphorus transport into OW in the early period of application, but it increased the performance of LH to restrain the sedimentary P liberation during the later period of application. The results of this work suggest that the multiple LH capping is a promising approach for controlling the internal phosphorus loading in freshwater bodies where SPM deposition often occurs in the long run.

Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness and mechanism for the control of internal phosphorus (P) liberation from sediment by hydrous zirconium oxide (HZrO2) combined with calcite, bentonite and zeolite. The results suggested that coexisting calcite, calcium-modified bentonite (CaBT) and calcium-modified zeolite (CaZ) all had the ability to promote the adsorption of phosphate (PO43-) onto HZrO2. The mechanisms of PO43- elimination by HZrO2/calcite mixture involved the adsorption of PO43- on calcite, the precipitation of PO43- with Ca2+, and the inner-sphere complexation of PO43- with HZrO2. The amendment of sediment with HZrO2/calcite, HZrO2/CaBT or HZrO2/CaZ mixture can effectively prevent the sedimentary P release, and the immobilization of mobile P in the sediment and the uptake of dissolved reactive P (DRP) from the interstitial water by the amendment material played a key role in the control of P release from sediment by the combined amendment. Capping sediment with HZrO2/calcite, HZrO2/CaBT or HZrO2/CaZ mixture also can effectively intercept sediment P release, and the formation of P static layer attributed to the uptake of interstitial water DRP and DGT (diffusive gradient in thin-films)-unstable P in the upper sediment by the capping material was a key to the inhibition of sedimentary P migration into the overlying water by the combined capping. The great majority of P immobilized by the HZrO2/calcite, HZrO2/CaBT or HZrO2/CaZ combined covering layer is stable P and it has a low re-releasing risk under dissolved oxygen-deficit and pH 5-9 condition. The stability of P bound by the combined covering layer was larger than that by the single HZrO2 covering layer. The results of this research show that the combined use of HZrO2 and calcite, HZrO2 and CaBT, or HZrO2 and CaZ as a capping material has great potential in the reduction of sediment P loading.

Abstract
The characteristics and mechanism of phosphate adsorption onto magnetite, hematite and goethite were comparatively studied, and the effects of magnetite, hematite and goethite amendment and capping on endogenous phosphorus (P) liberation from sediment into overlying water (OW) were comparatively investigated. The adsorption of phosphate onto magnetite, hematite and goethite mainly obeyed the inner-sphere complexation mechanism, and the phosphate adsorption capacity decreased in the order of magnetite > goethite > hematite. The magnetite, hematite and goethite amendment all can decrease the risk of endogenous Prelease into OW under anoxic conditions, and the inactivation of diffusion gradients in thin films-labile P in sediment made a great contribution to the restraint of endogenous P release into OW by the magnetite, hematite and goethite amendment. The efficiency of endogenous P release restraint by the iron oxide addition decreased in the order of magnetite > goethite > hematite. The magnetite, hematite and goethite capping all can be effective for the suppression of endogenous P release from sediment into OW under anoxic conditions, and most of P immobilized by the magnetite, hematite and goethite capping layers is relatively or very stable. The results obtained from this work suggest that magnetite is more suitably used a capping/amendment material to prevent P release from sediment than hematite and goethite, and magnetite capping is a promising approach for hindering sedimentary P release into OW.

Batch and Column Adsorption of Phosphorus by Modified Montmorillonite. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/app12115703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Phosphorus pollutants are a crucial component of water eutrophication. In this study, montmorillonite modified by Keggin Al13 and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (Al13-O-MMt) was used as an adsorbent to remove phosphorus from solutions and thus simulate the practice of a field trial, such as in wastewater. The ammonium molybdate spectrophotometric method was used to determine the concentrations of phosphorus in samples. In the batch experiment, phosphorus was adsorbed by original montmorillonite (MMt) and Al13-O-MMt at various pH values (6–9) to identify the effect of pH during the adsorption process. The batch adsorption results demonstrate that Al13-O-MMt can adsorb up to 93% of phosphorus at pH = 8. Six graduated amounts (0.01–0.25 g) of montmorillonite were tested at three different temperatures to determine the most suitable temperature and the minimum dosage of Al13-O-MMt needed for the adsorption of 200 mg/L phosphorus in a 30 mL solution, which was 0.1 g at 25 °C. Therefore, the adsorption capacity of Al13-O-MMt was found to be 60 mg/g. Subsequently, a column experiment was conducted. The results showed that the optimized dosage of Al13-O-MMt was 6.667 g for phosphorus adsorption with a concentration of 200 mg/L in 2000 mL solution, and the breakthrough time was 4794.67 min.

Abstract
In this research, the sorption characteristics and mechanism of phosphate on zirconium-modified attapulgite (Zr-ATP), iron-modified attapulgite (Fe-ATP), and zirconium/iron co-modified attapulgite (Zr/Fe-ATP) prepared by a simple impregnation method were studied, and the impacts of Zr-ATP, Fe-ATP, and Zr/Fe-ATP amendment and capping on the migration of phosphorus (P) from sediments to overlying waters were investigated. The results showed that Zr-ATP and Zr/Fe-ATP possessed stronger adsorption ability for phosphate in aqueous solution than Fe-ATP. The ligand replacement of the hydroxyl group with the phosphate anion to form the inner-sphere phosphate complex played a crucial role in the adsorption process of phosphate on Zr-ATP, Fe-ATP, and Zr/Fe-ATP. Most of the phosphate ions bound by Zr-ATP and Zr/Fe-ATP were in the form of caustic soda solution-extractable inorganic P (NaOH-IP) and residual P (Res-P), and it is hard for these P species to be re-released into water under the circumstances of reducing environment and normal pH (5-9). The ratio of mobile P to total P of Fe-ATP loaded with phosphate was much higher than those of Zr-ATP and Zr/Fe-ATP loaded with phosphate, indicating that Fe-ATP-bound phosphate has a higher re-releasing risk than Zr-ATP-bound and Zr/Fe-ATP-bound phosphate. Zr-ATP, Fe-ATP, and Zr/Fe-ATP amendment all can reduce the releasing risk of P from sediments to overlying waters. The amendment of sediment with Zr-ATP and Zr/Fe-ATP can both induce the conversion of redox-sensitive P (BD-P) to NaOH-IP and Res-P in the sediment, making the phosphorus in the sediment more stable. However, the amendment of sediment with Fe-ATP can only induce the conversion of HCl-P to NaOH-IP in the sediment and had a negligible effect on the inorganic P activity in the sediment. Zr-ATP, Fe-ATP, and Zr/Fe-ATP capping all can reduce the risk of P release from sediment into the overlying water, and Zr-ATP and Zr/Fe-ATP capping had a better reduction efficiency of internal P liberation to the overlying water than Fe-ATP capping. Zr-ATP, Fe-ATP, and Zr/Fe-ATP capping all can give rise to the reduction of pore water SRP and diffusive gradient in thin-film (DGT)-labile P in the upper sediment. This is beneficial to the control of P releasing from sediment into the overlying water by the Zr-ATP, Fe-ATP, and Zr/Fe-ATP capping. The findings of this work suggest that Zr-ATP and Zr/Fe-ATP are promising active capping or amendment materials for internal P loading management in surface water bodies.

Abstract
Abstract
Bentonite clay is one of the oldest clays that humankind has been using from ancient times as traditional habits and remedies. In recent years researchers have found many applications of bentonite clay due to its various physio-chemical properties. In the present work, various physical and chemical properties of bentonite such as surface area, adsorption, swelling properties, cation exchange properties, etc. have been studied. This study also includes various procedures of modification of bentonite clay into Chitosan/Ag-bentonite composite, Fe-Modified bentonite, Hydroxyl-Fe-pillared-bentonite, Organo Bentonite, Organophilic clay, Arenesulfonic Acid-Functionalized Bentonite, Bentonite clay modified with Nb2O5. The study reveals that bentonite clay has large surface area due to similar structure with montmorillonite and it is found that the functionality of bentonite can be increased by increasing total surface area of the clay. Due to high cation exchangeability of bentonite, various cations can be incorporated into it. After purification and modification, the absorbent aluminum phyllosilicate bentonite clay can be used as an efficient catalyst in various types of catalytic reactions. Moreover, bentonite clay can be applied in various field like drilling, civil engineering, agriculture and water treatment.

Abstract
The performance of lanthanum carbonate (LC) pertaining to the adsorption of phosphate (HwPO4w-3) was investigated, and the possible adsorption mechanism was elucidated. The stabilization of HwPO4w-3 adsorbed to LC was evaluated. The influence of LC addition on the upward transport of phosphorus (P) from sediment to overlying water (OL-W) was studied, and the adsorption performance of HwPO4w-3 on the LC-amended sediment was explored. The results of this work indicated that LC performed well in the elimination of HwPO4w-3 from water in the pH range of 4 to 11, and the commercial and self-prepared LC samples afforded the maximum HwPO4w-3 adsorption capacities of 57.9 and 99.4 mg P/g, respectively, at pH 7. The presence of coexisting species including chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate had a small influence on the HwPO4w-3 adsorption onto LC. The main HwPO4w-3 adsorption mechanism of LC at pH 7 was the ligand exchange reaction between carbonate and HwPO4w-3 forming the inner-sphere La-phosphate complexation. The self-synthesized LC exhibited much higher HwPO4w-3 adsorption performance than the commercial LC. The overwhelming majority (> 97.0%) of HwPO4w-3 adsorbed to LC primarily existed in the form of muriatic acid-extractable P, which has relatively low re-releasing risk. The addition of LC into sediment could significantly prevent the release of P from the sediment solid into the OL-W, thereby leading to a lower concentration level of reactive soluble P (RSP) in the OL-W compared with no LC treatment. The addition of LC into sediment could greatly improve the HwPO4w-3 uptake ability for the sediment, and the enhancement of HwPO4w-3 adsorption onto the sediment by the added LC increased as the increase of the amendment dosage and the initial HwPO4w-3 concentration. All results suggest that LC could serve as a promising amendment material for the control of sedimentary P release.

Abstract
A magnesium/iron-based layered double hydroxide (MF-LDH) and a composite of MF-LDH and magnetite (MF-LDH@Fe3O4) were synthesized, characterized and used as solid-phase phosphorus (P)-sorbents (SPPSs) to control the release of sedimentary P. The behavior and mechanism of phosphate adsorption onto MF-LDH and MF-LDH@Fe3O4 were studied. The effect of MF-LDH capping and amendment on the migration of P in sediments were comparatively investigated, and the impact of fabric-wrapped and unwrapped MF-LDH@Fe3O4 capping on P mobilization in sediments were also comparatively investigated. Results showed that both MF-LDH and MF-LDH@Fe3O4 had good phosphate adsorption performance, and the adsorption mechanisms included cation exchange, electrostatic attraction, ligand exchange and inner-sphere complex formation. Sediment capping and amendment using MF-LDH both could dramatically reduce the risk of the release of soluble reactive P (SRP) and diffusive gradient in thin-films-labile P (P-DGT) from sediments into overlying waters (OLY-Ws), and the MF-LDH capping had a better suppressing efficiency of sediment-P release into OLY-W than the MF-LDH amendment. Sediment capping with the fabric-wrapped and unwrapped MF-LDH@Fe3O4 both greatly decreased the risk of SRP and P-DGT released from sediment into OLY-W, and the efficiency of the prevention of SRP released from sediment into OLY-W by the fabric-wrapped MF-LDH@Fe3O4 capping layer (about 81-90%) was slightly lower than that by the unwrapped MF-LDH@Fe3O4 capping layer (about 94-99%). The reduction of P-DGT in the top sediment and the direct interception of the soluble P from pore water (POR-W) to OLY-W by the MF-LDH@Fe3O4 capping layer were the keys to the management of P released from sediment by the MF-LDH@Fe3O4 capping. From the standpoint of the efficiency of sedimentary P suppression, the convenience of application and the sustainability of sediment remediation, sediment capping with the fabric-wrapped MF-LDH@Fe3O4 is a promising approach to manage the release of sedimentary P into OLY-W.

Abstract
The non-magnetic capping materials are difficult to be recycled from the water bodies after their application, leading to the increase in the cost of the sediment remediation. To address this issue, a capping material, i.e., magnetic lanthanum/iron-modified bentonite (M-LaFeBT) was prepared by loading lanthanum onto a magnetic iron-modified bentonite (M-FeBT) and used to control the internal phosphorus (P) loading in this study. To determine the capping efficiency and mechanism of M-LaFeBT, the impact of M-LaFeBT and M-FeBT capping on the mobilization of P in sediments was investigated, and the stabilization of P bound by the M-LaFeBT and M-FeBT capping layers was evaluated. Results showed that M-LaFeBT possessed good magnetic property with a saturated magnetization of 14.9 emu/g, and exhibited good phosphate adsorption ability with a maximum monolayer sorption capacity (QMAX) of 14.3 mg P/g at pH 7. Moreover, M-LaFeBT capping tremendously reduced the concentration of soluble reactive P (SR-P) in the overlying water (OL-water), and the reduction efficiencies were 94.7%-97.4%. Furthermore, M-LaFeBT capping significantly decreased the concentration of SR-P in the pore water and DGT (diffusive gradient in thin films)-labile P in the profile of OL-water and sediment. Additionally, most of P bound by the M-LaFeBT capping layer (approximately 77%) was stable under natural pH and reducing conditions. The phosphate adsorption ability for M-LaFeBT was much higher than that for M-FeBT, and the QMAX value for the former was 4.86 times higher than that for the latter. M-LaFeBT capping gave rise to a higher reduction of DGT-labile concentration in the profile of OL-water and sediment than M-FeBT capping. The P adsorbed by the M-LaFeBT capping layer was more stable than that by the M-FeBT capping layer. Results of this study demonstrate that M-LaFeBT is promising for utilization as an active capping material to intercept sedimentary P release into OL-water.

Abstract
A zirconium-modified magnetite/bentonite composite (M-ZrFeBT) was synthesized, characterized and combined with water-permeable fabric to construct novel, recyclable active capping systems for sedimentary phosphorus (P) release control. Three fabric-wrapped M-ZrFeBT capping devices with different shapes were designed, i.e., CAP-1, CAP-2 and CAP-3, and they are disc-shaped, cuboid-shaped and spindle-shaped capping devices, respectively. The behavior and mechanism for phosphate adsorption onto M-ZrFeBT was studied. The impact of CAP-1, CAP-2 and CAP-3 capping on the mobilization of P in sediments was investigated. The results showed that M-ZrFeBT possessed good phosphate adsorption ability, with a largest monolayer adsorption capacity of 8.02 mg P/g. The replacement of Fe/Zr bound hydroxyl groups with phosphate through ligand-exchange reactions to generate the inner-sphere Fe-O-P and Zr-O-P bonding played a key part in the uptake of phosphate from water by M-ZrFeBT. Sediment capping with fabric-wrapped M-ZrFeBT not only brought about a significant decline in the concentrations of soluble reactive P (SRP) and DGT (diffusive gradient in thin films)-labile P (LPDGT) in the overlying water, but also gave rise to the diminished SRP and LPDGT concentrations in the upper sediment. Most (96.5%-98.2%) of P bound by the M-ZrFeBT in the capping layers was in the form of NaOH extractable inorganic P, HCl-extractable P and residual P, which were considered to be hard to be released back into the water column under common pH and oxygen-deficient conditions. The reduction of pore water SRP and LPDGT in the upper sediment layer induced by the adsorption of SRP on the M-ZrFeBT-based capping layer played a key part in the interception of SRP liberation from the sediment solid into the overlying water. Results indicate that fabric-wrapped M-ZrFeBT capping is promising for controlling the internal P loading from sediments in shallow freshwater bodies.

Abstract
In this study, the influence of zirconium-modified bentonite (ZMBT) addition, capping, and addition/capping on the transport and transformation of phosphorus (P) in sediments were comparatively investigated using incubation experiments to determine the effect of ZMBT application mode on the controlling efficiency. Results showed that the release of soluble reactive P (SRP) from sediment to the overlying water was effectively intercepted by all the ZMBT treatments. The inactivation of pore-water SRP, diffusive gradients in thin films-labile P (DGT-LP) and mobile P (Mob-IP) in sediment played a pivotal role in the regulation of SRP liberation from the sediment to the overlying water by ZMBT. An application mode change from capping and addition/capping to addition resulted in a decline of the reduction efficiency of overlying water SRP by the ZMBT treatment to some extent. The variation in the reduction efficiency of pore-water SRP and DGT-LP in the uppermost sediment were responsible for the change of the reduction efficiency of overlying water SRP by the ZMBT treatment. A change in application mode from capping to addition/capping and addition caused an obvious increase in the immobilization efficiency of pore-water SRP, DGT-LP and Mob-IP in the lower sediment by the ZMBT treatment. Results of this work indicate that, when the ZMBT capping layer on the top of sediment was completely mixed with the sediment, although the stability of P in the lower sediment obviously increases, the controlling efficiency of SRP liberating from the sediment to the overlying water decreases to some extent. Thus, the repeated addition of ZMBT to form a covering layer on the ZMBT-amended sediment is very necessary for the effective control of sediment-P release to the overlying water.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 27:3962-3978. [PMID: 31820252 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-06955-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/04/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Calcite/zeolite mixture (CZ) can be used to construct a capping layer for the simultaneous management of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) liberation from sediments into the overlying water (OVER-water). However, its control efficiency of sedimentary P release still needs to be improved. To address this issue, an iron-modified CZ (Fe-CZ) was synthesized, characterized, and employed as a capping material to simultaneously prevent P and N release from sediments into OVER-water. Batch and microcosm incubation experiments were performed to study the efficiency and mechanism for the control of P and N release from sediments by capping Fe-CZ. Results showed that sediment capping with Fe-CZ resulted in the significant reduction of soluble reactive P (SRP) and ammonium-N (NH3-N) in OVER-water, with reduction rates of 77.8-99.7% and 54.0-96.7%, respectively. Furthermore, the Fe-CZ capping layer decreased the SRP concentration in the pore water (PORE-water) at depth of 0-30 mm and reduced the concentration of PORE-water NH3-N at depth of 0-50 mm. Moreover, the Fe-CZ capping layer gave rise to the great decrement of the concentration of the labile P measured by DGT (diffusive gradient in thin films) technology (P-DGT) in the profile of OVER-water and sediment. Additionally, the Fe-CZ capping resulted in the reduction of redox-sensitive P (P-BD) in the 0-50 mm sediment and caused the transformation of P-BD to calcium-bound P (P-HCl) and residual P (P-RES) in the 0-10 mm sediment as well as to P-RES in the 10-20 mm sediment. Results of this work indicate that the Fe-CZ capping has a high potential for the simultaneous management of P and N release from sediments, and the decrease of the contents of sediment P-DGT, sediment P-BD, PORE-water SRP and PORE-water NH3-N as well as the conversion of mobile P to more stable P in the top sediment should have a significant role in the simultaneous interception of sedimentary P and N liberation into OVER-water by the Fe-CZ capping.
