Abstract
Due to the irreplaceable nature of phosphorus (P) in biological growth and the shortage of P rock, it is necessary to recover P from waste, such as sludge ash. P-containing products were prepared using sludge ash and calcium-based additives (CaCO3 and eggshell). In addition, the effects of different incineration methods (one-step method (OSM) and multi-step method (MSM)), additive doses, and incineration temperature on the P content and species in the products were investigated. The results indicated that as the dose of calcium-based additives increased, total P (TP) content in P-containing products reduced, apatite P (AP) content increased, non-apatite P (NAIP) content declined, and P solubility in citric acid content decreased. The amount of AP increased, NAIP reduced, and P solubility in citric acid decreased as the incineration temperature climbed. Although P in P-containing products prepared by OSM and MSM changed in a similar way at different additive doses and temperatures, P-containing products prepared by MSM had at least a 6.1% increase in P solubility in citric acid. Compared with OSM, MSM could save 10% of calcium-based additives when reaching the maximum AP value. Additionally, pure materials were employed to investigate how P species changed during the incineration procedure. The advantage of the MSM-prepared product over the OSM-prepared product may be explained by the high concentration of Ca3(PO4)2 and low concentration of amorphous calcium bound P (Ca-P). Overall, MSM is an effective method to reduce the dose of calcium-based additives and increase the bioavailability of P in P-containing products.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) species characterize the effectiveness of the P fertilizer. In this study, the P species and distribution in different manures (pig manure, dairy manure and chicken manure) and their digestate were systematically investigated through combined characterization methods of Hedley fractionation (H2OP, NaHCO3-P, NaOH-P, HCl-P, and Residual), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The results from Hedley fractionation showed that >80 % of P in the digestate was inorganic and the HCl-P content in manure increased significantly during anaerobic digestion (AD). XRD manifested that insoluble hydroxyapatite and struvite belonging to HCl-P were presented during AD, which was in agreement with the result of Hedley fractionation. 31P NMR spectral analysis revealed that some orthophosphate monoesters were hydrolyzed during AD, meanwhile the orthophosphate diester organic phosphorus like DNA and phospholipids content has increased. After characterizing P species by combining these methods, it was found that chemical sequential extraction could be an effective way to fully understand the P in livestock manure and digestate, with other methods used as auxiliary tool depending on the purpose of studies. Meanwhile, this study provided a basic knowledge of utilizing digestate as P fertilizer and minimizing the risk of P loss from livestock manure. Overall, applying digestates can minimize the risk of P loss from directly applied livestock manure while satisfying plant demands, and is an environmentally friendly P fertilizer.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), as the highly efficient photocatalysts, could enhance the transformation of biogenic organic phosphorus (OP) to orthophosphate (PO43-) by photodegradation, accelerating eutrophication. Conversely, orthophosphate can also transform ZnO NPs and thus potentially alter their catalytic and chemical properties. Here, we investigated the transformation mechanisms of three biogenic OP compounds and ZnO NPs under ultraviolet light (UV) illumination: inositol phosphates (IHPs), nucleic acids (DNA), and aminoethylphosphonic acid (AEP). The physicochemical characteristics of the resulting products were systematically characterized. Results show that ZnO NPs accelerated the transformation of IHPs, DNA, and AEP to inorganic phosphorus with the direct photolysis efficiencies of 98.14, 87.68, and 51.76%, respectively. The main component of the precipitates remained ZnO NPs, and Zn3(PO4)2 was identified. Zinc phytate was determined in the ZnO NP-IHP system. 31P NMR and FTIR further confirmed that the aquatic phase contained orthophosphate. Photoproduced hydroxyl (·OH) and superoxide (·O2-) were proved to play a dominant role in the OP photomineralization. Furthermore, ZnO NPs significantly enhanced the intensity of ·OH and ·O2- compared to the OP and Zn2+ solution alone. This work explored the light-induced mineralization processes of OP with ZnO NPs indicating that nanophotocatalysts may play a positive role in transformation of OP species in aquatic environments to further contribute to eutrophication.

Abstract
Trophic status in surface waters has been mostly monitored by measuring soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and total phosphorus (TP). Additional to these common parameters, a two-dimensional ion chromatography mass spectrometry (2D-IC-MS) method was used to simultaneously measure soluble phosphate (Pi), pyrophosphate (PPi), and eleven phosphate-containing metabolites (P-metabolites) in Lake Ontario and its tributaries. From the additional P species, PPi, adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), glucose 6-phosphate (G-P), D-fructose 6-phosphate (F-P), D-fructose 1,6-biphosphate (F-2P), D-ribulose 5-phosphate (R-P), D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (R-2P), and D-(-)-3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) were detected and quantified in the lake and river samples. The additional multivariate statistical analysis identified similarities between samples collected at different locations. The presence of R-P, R-2P, and F-2P in Lake Ontario tributaries seems to be mainly related to the Calvin cycle, while the lack of all these three P-metabolites and higher PGA levels than G-P in Toronto Harbour samples seems to be the result of depleted Calvin cycle, pentose phosphate, and glycolysis metabolic pathways.

Abstract
The species and distribution of phosphorus (P) in an enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR)-aerobic granular sludge (AGS) were fractionated and further analyzed. Results showed that microbial cells, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and mineral precipitates contributed about 73.7%, 17.6% and 5.3-6.4% to the total P (TP) of EBPR-AGS, respectively. Inorganic P (IP) species were orthophosphate, pyrophosphate and polyphosphate among which polyphosphate was the major P species in the AGS, cells and EPS. Monoester and diester phosphates were identified as the organic P (OP) species in the AGS and cells. Hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) and calcium phosphate (Ca2(PO4)3) were the dominant P minerals accumulated in the core of the granules. Cells along with polyphosphate were mainly in the outer layer of AGS while EPS were distributed in the whole granules. Based on the above results, the distribution of IP and OP species in AGS has been conceived.

Abstract
Biochar, the byproduct from fast pyrolysis of waste biomass, is widely used as a soil conditioner. The phosphorus in biochar is not only a P source for plant growth, but also an important factor caused the eutrophication of water. Here, the effects of environmental conditions on the release of different P species from biochar in a biochar-water system were investigated. About 2.2 mg g(-1) P in the form of inorganic orthophosphate and pyrophosphate was released from a raw biochar (contained 4.7 mg P g(-1)) at initial pH of 9.0 in the initial 8h. The release of orthophosphate was significantly enhanced from 0.64 to 1.35 mg g(-1) by the coexisting anions of Cl(-), NO3(-) or SO4(2-) due to the effect of ion exchange competition, while the release of pyrophosphate (P2O7(4-)) was not influenced by the introduction of anions which might be attributed to the formation of stable complexes. The introduction of Hoagland nutrient solution led to the decrease in release of P due to the formation of precipitates between dissolved P and excessive Ca(2+) and Mg(2+).
