“…Several independent reports claim that phosphine can be produced by biochemical processes in the laboratory (Cao et al, 2000;Devai et al, 1984Devai et al, , 1988Eismann et al, 1997;Gassmann and Glindemann, 1993;Iverson, 1968;Jenkins et al, 2000). Most of these results have been summarized in a review (Roels and Verstraete, 2001).…”

This is a review of previously published and unpublished results of research into the occurrence of phosphine (PH 3 ) in the environment in the form of matrix bound phosphine in soils, aquatic sediments and sludges (range ng kg −1 to g kg −1 ), free phosphine in formed biogases (range ng m −3 to g m −3 ) and in the atmosphere (range pg m −3 to ng m −3 ). The reviewed data support the hypothesis of the existence of a small gaseous link in the phosphorus cycle, which could become important over the long term.Matrix-bound phosphine in soils can be interpreted as a stationary state concentration of phosphine between production and consumption. This phosphine turnover within the soil may be important even if the stationary state concentration (matrix-bound phosphine) is small. Under such circumstances, a slow migration process of phosphine in the interstitial gas sphere of soils is possible. Such a process would influence the balance of phosphorus in agricultural and wetland soil.The detection of easily oxidizable phosphine as a ubiquitous trace gas in the atmosphere can be interpreted as the residue of an important turnover of phosphine between widely distributed emission sources and sinks such as soils and sediments. The atmosphere can carry gaseous phosphorus to remote places.

Phosphine emission fluxes from paddy fields, phosphine ambient levels in air, and the vertical profile of matrix-bound phosphine in soil have been measured throughout the growing season of rice in Beijing, China. It was found that both the seasonal and diurnal emission fluxes and ambient levels fluctuate significantly. During the drainage period, phosphine released from the soil with the highest diurnal average flux on the first period of drainage Ž y2 y1 . Ž y3 . approx. 17.7 ng m h , whereas its highest ambient level approx. 250 ng m occurred at 06.00 h. During the flooded period, phosphine emission was low, and the peaks of phosphine emissions occurred at midnight. The average flux of PH emission for the whole season was found to be approximately 1.78 ng m y2 h y1 . The mass 3 y7 Ž . fraction of matrix-bound phosphine is approximately 0.18; 1.42= 10 mrm part of organic phosphorus or y9 Ž . 3.4; 9.2= 10 mrm part of total phosphorus in paddy soil. The amount of phosphine emitted to the atmosphere was only a small fraction of the phosphine that remained in the soil in the matrix-bound form. Soil serves both as the source and the sink of PH . ᮊ

“…Rutishauser et al [14] confirmed that inoculation with sterilized sewage sludge or sewage sludge added to a medium supplemented with formaldehyde or mercuric chloride exhibited the complete absence of phosphine after several days of incubation when phosphate was used as the source of phosphorus. Cao et al [28] showed that the release of phosphine from a system that was not sterilized and had added lecithin, was significantly higher than that of the corresponding sterilized system. This indicates that phosphine originated from inorganic or organic phosphorus compounds by microbial activity.…”

Abstract:The effects of different types and concentrations of electron donors (glucose, starch, methanol and sodium acetate) on the formation of phosphine from anaerobic activated sludge that has been domesticated for a prolonged period were studied in small batch experiments. The results show that types and concentrations of electron donor have significant effects on the production of phosphine from anaerobic activated sludge. Among them, glucose was the most favourable electron donor, whereas sodium acetate was the least favourable electron donor for the removal of phosphorus and the production of phosphine. Higher concentrations of electron donors were more favourable for the reduction of phosphate into phosphine, and supplying more than nine times the amount of electron donor as theoretically required for the reduction of phosphate into phosphine was favourable for the production of phosphine.
