A dynamic model, which predicts non-steady variations in the sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and phosphate release rate, has been designed. This theoretical model consists of three diffusion equations with biochemical reactions for dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate and ferrous iron. According to this model, step changes in the DO concentration and flow velocity produce drastic changes in the SOD and phosphate release rate within 10 minutes. The vigorous response of the SOD and phosphate release rate is caused by the difference in the time scale of diffusion in the water boundary layer and that of the biochemical reactions in the sediment. Secondly, a negative phosphate transfer from water to sediment can even occur under aerobic conditions. This is caused by the decrease in phosphate concentration in the aerobic layer due to adsorption.

The phenomenon of phosphate release in sediments into water bodies under oxic environment has been investigated using the Diffusive Gradient in Thin Film (DGT) technique. This research consists of several stages: polymer synthesis and DGT probe assembly, sediment sampling, DGT deployment in oxic conditions, and phosphate analysis from DGT adsorption results. Acrylamide polymer was successfully synthesized with a composition 15% acrylamide; N-N'-methylenebisacrylamide 0.1% and ferrihydrite as binding gels. DGT probes were assembly by placing a 16 x 3.2 cm polyacrylamide gel, binding gels and filter membranes on the DGT probes. The sediment sample was taken from the Bogor Botanical Gardens at the coordinates 6°36’00.6” S; 106°47’51.0” E. The DGT probe was placed in sediment samples for 1, 3 and 7 days in oxic conditions. After the prescribed time, the binding gel was removed and cut every 1 cm depth, then eluted using 0.25 M H2SO4 and the phosphate concentration was measured using spectrophotometry method. The results showed that the phosphate concentration tends to be higher with the increasing incubation time and depth. Maximum CDGT phosphate released on day 1, day 3 and day 7 were 1.00 µg/L at a depth of 14 cm, 6.61 µg/L at a depth of 14 cm, and 20.92 µg/L at a depth of 11 cm respectively. This ensures that the phosphate in water bodies comes from biogeochemical processes that occur in sediments and is successfully measured through DGT techniques.

The growth of barley and the phosphate concentration of the soil solution, of the soil cropped and uncropped, were examined simultaneously in pot cultures, after treatment of an acid soil deficient in phosphate, with lime with and without slag or superphosphate.Liming at the rate of half the lime requirement increased the concentration from about 0·7 p.p.m. P2O5 to about 1 p.p.m. and at the rate of twice the lime requirement to over 2 p.p.m. P205. Phosphates depressed the concentration on the lightly limed soils, and on the heavily limed had variable effects. The superphosphate-treated soils showed rather lower concentrations than the slag-treated. Cropping raised the concentration on the lightly limed treatments, but on the heavily limed reduced it on the control and had a variable effect on the phosphate treatments.

The potential of seven septic tank installations in the Perth (Western Australia) metropolitan area to contribute phosphate to the groundwater was investigated. The phosphate concentration in the soil solution below the soak wells and leach drains was measured using immiscible displacement and compared with the phosphate concentration of the water flowing into the systems. The phosphate sorbing properties of the subsoils were measured, and these were found to vary up to 100-fold within the same profile. A very strong correlation was established between a laboratory measure of the ability of the soil to sorb phosphate and the phosphate sorbed in the soil profile below leach drains and soak wells. The correlation held only for those systems for which little further phosphate was removed by reaction with the soil, and the phosphate in the soil solution was at or near the same concentration as the phosphate in the effluent. For a system receiving water from the bathroom, laundry and kitchen the phosphate concentration was as low as 8 �g P/ml. For a system receiving water from a toilet only, the concentration was as high as 29 �g P/ml. In systems receiving water from both sources the values were intermediate. For systems that had been installed for more than a few years, the concentration of phosphorus in the soil water down to 6 m below the soak well and leach drain was similar to that in the effluent being discharged into the soil.

Tow plug flow reactors were operated with municipal wastewater according to reversed A2/O process. The only difference was in sludge return ratio. Despite that more VFAs were consumed by denitrification, phosphate removal was enhanced rather than impaired by a higher sludge return ratio of 300%. It seems that higher phosphate removal can be achieved even more nitrate was reduced which means more carbon source consumption. This is contradictory with the well accepted enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR) theory, which regards sufficient volatile fatty acids in the wastewater as the indispensable premise. With less phosphate was released in the anaerobic zones, the final phosphate concentration in the effluent was lower when higher sludge return ratio was applied. The results indicated that neither carbon source nor phosphate release can directly determine phosphate uptake ability.

Reduction in water content of a soil increased the concentration of ammonium and nitrate in solution, but had no effect on the concentration of phosphate. The corresponding reduction in the quantity of phosphate in solution caused an equivalent reduction in the response of ryegrass to applied phosphate. Keywords: soil solution, soil water content, phosphate, ryegrass, nutrition.
