Popis: | Organic-acid-promoted dissolution of phosphate is a primary mechanism for enhancing the bioavailability of sorbed, inorganic soil phosphate. Bioavailability of P is, however, dependent on its speciation. Hence, the main objective of this study was to characterize changes in phosphate speciation as a function of pH levels (4–8) during citrate-promoted dissolution of phosphate adsorbed on ferrihydrite–boehmite mixtures using two different sizes of ferrihydrite. A combination of batch dissolution kinetics and P K-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy was used. Trends in shifts of white-line peak energy and full width at half maximum height of P K-XANES spectra indicated that the phosphate bonding configuration on ferrihydrite–boehmite as single minerals and mineral mixtures was predominantly binuclear–bidentate complexes at pH levels of 4, 6, and 8. When citrate was added to the ferrihydrite–boehmite mixtures with bound phosphate (pH 4 and 6), phosphate was preferentially released from boehmite, resorbed onto ferrihydrite, and precipitated to form noncrystalline FePO₄ minerals. A reverse trend was observed at alkaline pH. These results suggest the potential for excessive P release in P-enriched acidic soils during a redox event due to preferential association of P to Fe(III) phases. |
