Phosphorus

Five submerged macrophytes, C eratophyllum demersum , E lodea canadensis , P otamogeton crispus , Myriophyllum spicatum and Vallisneria spiralis were selected and their relative growth rate (RGR) and the capacity of removing phosphorus in greenhouse were evaluated by hydrotropic experiments of two s

An inorganic polymer, poly-silicic-ferric (PSF) coagulant was prepared by co-polymerization, and the hydrolysis products distribution of PSF was calculated from the pH changes during the hydrolysis process of PSF. The characterization of PSF and total phosphorus (TP) removal by PSF were studied in c

This work investigated the role of fertilizer application rate on phosphorus (P) transport and loading to Lake Uluabat in Turkey. For this purpose ArcView Interface of Soil and Water Assessment Tool 2000 (AVSWAT) was used. Results showed that when the fertilizer amount applied to agricultural lands

The amounts of atmospheric depositions were measured by two types of bulk deposit-samplers (BDS). One of them was a commonly used dry-type BDS mounted with a conical polyethylene (PE) funnel on a PE-reservoir (d-BDS). The second BDS was a wet-type BDS which was devised to evaluate the nutrient loads

The degradation of quantity and quality of lake waters nowadays forces scientists to develop advanced methods of studying and understanding lake ecosystems. These methods lead to models that have as an aim to describe in detail the chemical and biological processes that take place in the lake enviro
