Phosphorus bioavailability in alum biosolids used in agriculture

Effluent discharged from wastewater treatment plants to inland water bodies has the potential to cause eutrophication unless the phosphorus (P) concentration is reduced by methods such as dosing with alum (Al2(SO4)3), to precipitate P and capture it in the solid sludge. As a consequence, the alumini...
