The present study aims to develop a new potentially low-cost and efficient approach to removing soluble inorganic phosphorus from acid leaching wastewater. This wastewater was of high acidity and high phosphorus content. Low-grade oolitic hematite with high phosphorus (LGOHWHP) was chosen as an economic adsorbent and was also used to adjust the acidity of the solution. The adsorption isotherms, adsorption thermodynamics, and effect of various parameters such as pH value, contact time, temperature and adsorbent dosage on the phosphorus removal from wastewater were investigated. The results showed that pH value and adsorbent dosage have a significant impact on the phosphorus removal. The phosphorus adsorption results fitted very well to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models, and the adsorption process was an endothermic process. At the optimum parameters pH 5.5, reaction temperature of 302 K with 20 g L−1 LGOHWHP, the phosphorus removal percentage of about 95% and the phosphorus concentration in the wastewater of about 0.27 mg L−1 are achieved after 60 min. The results indicate that the phosphorus concentration in wastewater after dephosphorization by the LGOHWHP completely meets the requirements of the national wastewater discharge standard in China. This research provides an efficient and environmentally friendly technology to remove phosphorus from wastewater.

Seed of Trifolium balansae and Medicago polymorpha, of the same size (mean ± s.d., T. balansae 0.8 ± 0.01 mglseed, M. polymorpha 3.6 ± 0.05 mg/seed) but with increasing phosphorus (P) concentration in the seed (T. balansae 0.34 to 0.63% P, M. polymorpha 0.40 to 0.64% P), were sown in field experiments as singlestrain, dense, ungrazed swards on 2 different soil types (a sand and a lateritic gravel sand) in south-western Australia. Different amounts of superphosphate were drilled with the seed (5-40 kg P/ha for the sand, and 15-100 kg P/ha for the lateritic gravel sand). Increasing P concentration in seed increased yields of dried herbage measured at each harvest, and also increased seed yields (measured for M. polymorpha only). Increasing P concentration in the seed increased the effectiveness of superphosphate drilled with the seed, so that less fertiliser was required to produce the same yield as P concentration in the seed increased.

ObjectivesWhile maintenance of both phosphorus concentration and nutritional status is a major concern in managing haemodialysis patients, the interaction between these parameters is not well understood. The aim of this study was to assess whether or not nutritional index influences the association between phosphorus concentration and all-cause mortality.DesignA cohort study.SettingThe Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Pattern Study, which included 99 representative dialysis facilities in Japan between 1997 and 2010.ParticipantsA total of 6230 adult haemodialysis patients who had spent at least 6 months on haemodialysis.Main predictorsSix categories based on time-averaged factors of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI; the lowest two and highest tertiles) and phosphorus concentration (<3.5, 3.5 to <6 and ≥6 mg/dL).Primary outcome measureAll-cause mortality rate.AnalysisTime-dependent Cox regression adjusting for potential confounders.ResultsDuring the follow-up period (12 294 person-years), we noted 561 deaths (4.6 per 100 person-years), and both high phosphorus concentrations and low-middle GNRI were separately associated with all-cause mortality. The harmful effect of high phosphorus concentrations on all-cause mortality was stronger in patients with high GNRI than in those with low-middle GNRI. On the other hand, the harmful effect of low phosphorus concentrations was stronger in those with low-middle GNRI than in those with high GNRI. Relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) between high phosphorus concentrations and low-middle GNRI was −0.57, indicating an antagonistic interaction. We also observed a significant statistical multiplicative interaction between phosphorus concentrations and GNRI (p=0.05 by likelihood ratio test).ConclusionsThe association between time-averaged serum phosphorus concentration and all-cause mortality differs across the nutritional index. Accordingly, nutritional index should be considered when the impact of phosphorus concentration on mortality in haemodialysis patients is evaluated.
