Initial pH of phosphorus stock solution played a key role on phosphorus recovery. Phosphorus removal capacity was proportional to the calcium content in biochar. Brushite precipitation was the main mechanism for phosphorus removal by biochar. Phosphorus recovery from wastewater was greater than from P-stock solution. Heavy metal leaching from Ca-doped biochar was much lower than undoped biochar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
