Abstract:Background
For water purification, Fe-oxide sludge is frequently used as a P sink, generating P-enriched Fe sludge. Microorganisms can transform the P-enriched sludge into products with higher P concentration or can directly promote the precipitation of P-rich compounds from water. However, there is no evidence of these products' efficiency as fertilizers. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of microbially-mediated vivianite (biovivianite) production as Fe and P fertilizer for white lupin and durum w… Show more
