Abstract: | Phosphorus can occur in sediments in different forms and accordingly its availability varies. The distinction between the phosphorus fractions is made with two chemical extraction methods; an ammonium oxalate-oxalic acid extraction and an extraction according to Hieltjes & Lijklema (1980).The iron and aluminum liberated with the ammonium oxalate-oxalic acid extraction method is linearly correlated (r2 = 0.73) with the phosphorus liberated in the first two steps of the Hieltjes and Lijklema extraction by: P = 0.035 (Fe + Al) + 0.001 (P, Fe and Al in mmol g–1).The iron and aluminum (hydr)oxides are very important fractions in the sediment adsorption capacity for phosphorus. The phosphorus sorption capacity (PSC) is 0.080 mol P (mol (Fe + Al))–1 and the adsorption constant (k) is 11.9 µmol P l–1. Here it is assumed that iron and aluminum (hydr)oxide have the same affinity for phosphorus. |
