“…On the global scale, readily available sources of phosphorus (P), a crucial macronutrient element for agricultural production, are being faced with scarcity and overpricing (Scholz et al, 2013;Van Vuuren et al, 2010). Environmental pollution frequently arises from their impurities (Cd, U; Hartley et al, 2013;Kratz et al, 2016) and from over-fertilization (Rubaek et al, 2013).…”

“…Environmental pollution frequently arises from their impurities (Cd, U; Hartley et al, 2013;Kratz et al, 2016) and from over-fertilization (Rubaek et al, 2013). Further problems are the quick formation of stable and inaccessible compounds that limit plant P uptake (Shen et al, 2011) and the low agronomic efficiency of no more than 15 % of fertilizer P in the first year of application (Schnug et al, 2003). Many recent studies have targeted sustainable agriculture through improving P availability from applied fertilizers (Delgado et al, 2002;Schröder et al, 2011), increasing P-uptake efficiency from organic and inorganic P pools in the soil (Kaur and Reddy, 2014) and developing new technologies for P recycling from human and animal waste Herzel et al, 2016).…”

Abstract. The acceptability of novel bone char fertilizers depends on their P release, but reactions at bone char surfaces and impacts on soil P speciation are insufficiently known. By using sequential fractionation and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy we investigated whether and how the chemical composition of bone char particles has been altered in soil and has consequently affected the P speciation of amended soils. Therefore, two different kinds of bone char particles (BC produced by the pyrolysis of degreased animal bone chips at 800 • C and BC plus , a BC enriched with reduced sulfur compounds) were manually separated from the soil at the end of two different experiments: incubation leaching and ryegrass cultivation. Sequential P fractionation of amended soils showed P enrichment in all fractions compared to the control. The most P increase between all treatments significantly occurred in the NaOH-P and resin-P fractions in response to BC plus application in both incubation-leaching and ryegrass cultivation experiments. This increase in the readily available P fraction in BC plus -treated soils was confirmed by linear combination fitting (LCF) analysis on P K-edge XANES spectra of BC particles and amended soils. The proportion of Ca hydroxyapatite decreased, whereas the proportion of CaHPO 4 increased in BC plus particles after amended soils had been incubated and leached and cropped by ryegrass. Based on P XANES speciation as determined by LCF analysis, the proportion of inorganic Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 increased in amended soils after BC plus application. These results indicate that soil amendment with BC plus particles leads to elevated P concentration and maintains more soluble P species than BC particles even after 230 days of ryegrass cultivation.

“…Phosphate rocks are ordinarily extracted with the surface mining techniques and its world production capacity is estimated near 165-195 million tonnes per year [23]. 80% of total P 2 O 5 is used for fertilizer production, share of detergents is near 5%, animal feeds −7%, food additives −2% and special applications, for example lightning and metal treatment, −3% [24].…”
