“…Also, MTCI had shown that there was no phosphine or phosphorus-containing species in the gas phase from the steam gasification of poultry litter. 4 This also agreed with the explanation given by Glindemann et al 10 for formation of phosphine from the earth crust. Thus, based on the literature, it was assumed that under our catalytic steam gasification conditions no phosphorus component would be present in the product gas.…”

The production of broiler chickens has become one of the largest sectors in U.S. agriculture, and the growing demand for poultry has led to an annual production growth rate of 5%. With increased demand for poultry, litter management has become a major challenge in the agriculture industry. Although the catalytic steam gasification has been accepted as a possible and feasible method for litter management, concern has been expressed about the presence of nitrogen and phosphorus containing species in the fuel gas and/or in the final solid residue. The possible release of phosphorus as phosphine gas in the fuel gas can have an adverse impact on the environment. Similarly, possible release of ammonia from the nitrogen containing species is also not acceptable. Hence, under partial U.S. Department of Agriculture support, a study was conducted to examine the fate and the environmental impact of the nitrogen-and phosphorus-containing species released during catalytic steam gasification of poultry litter. From various preliminary tests, it was concluded that most (ϳ100%) of the phosphorus would remain in the residue, and some (20 -70%) of the nitrogen would end up as ammonia in the fuel gas. The effects of temperature, catalyst loading, and type of catalyst on ammonia liberation were studied in a muffled furnace setup at atmospheric pressure. The fraction of nitrogen released as ammonia was found to decrease with an increase in temperature during pyrolysis and steam gasification. It also decreased with an increase in catalyst loading.

“…Therefore, matrix-bound phosphine is a function of the applied digestion method, and does not necessarily refer to the pre-existence of phosphine gas in the matrix, because it could be in the form of solid phosphides. Phosphides, on the other hand, can hydrolyze in biological aquatic media (Glindemann et al, 1998) to form free phosphine gas.…”

This is a review of previously published and unpublished results of research into the occurrence of phosphine (PH 3 ) in the environment in the form of matrix bound phosphine in soils, aquatic sediments and sludges (range ng kg −1 to g kg −1 ), free phosphine in formed biogases (range ng m −3 to g m −3 ) and in the atmosphere (range pg m −3 to ng m −3 ). The reviewed data support the hypothesis of the existence of a small gaseous link in the phosphorus cycle, which could become important over the long term.Matrix-bound phosphine in soils can be interpreted as a stationary state concentration of phosphine between production and consumption. This phosphine turnover within the soil may be important even if the stationary state concentration (matrix-bound phosphine) is small. Under such circumstances, a slow migration process of phosphine in the interstitial gas sphere of soils is possible. Such a process would influence the balance of phosphorus in agricultural and wetland soil.The detection of easily oxidizable phosphine as a ubiquitous trace gas in the atmosphere can be interpreted as the residue of an important turnover of phosphine between widely distributed emission sources and sinks such as soils and sediments. The atmosphere can carry gaseous phosphorus to remote places.

“…But Libert (1927) and Skinner (1968) failed to detect phosphate-reducing bacterial and concluded that evidence for bacterial reduction of phosphate or organically bound phosphorus is still inconclusive. Glindemann et al (1998) noted that PH 3 is also released from corrosion of phosphorus rich metallic iron, and that process can be accelerated by bacteria. Morton et al (2003) measured phosphates, phosphites, and phosphides in environmental samples and concluded that PH 3 formation may be caused by some forms of phosphides.…”

Phosphine (PH 3 ) was monitored in the Taihu Lake in China by a GC/NPD method, coupled with cryo-trapping enrichment technology. Results showed that PH 3 was universally detected in sediments, lake water and atmosphere of the Taihu Lake area. Total phosphorus (TP s ) and fractions of different phosphorus species in lake sediments were separately measured as dissolved phosphate (DP), phosphorus bound to aluminum (Al-P), iron (Fe-P) and calcium (Ca-P), occluded phosphorus (OP), and organic phosphorus (Org-P) by sequential chemical extraction. High PH 3 levels were correlated with high TP s values in sediments and with eutrophication at different sites. In addition, a positive linear correlation equation was obtained between the concentrations of PH 3 in lake sediments and of the phosphorus fractions. The resulting multiple linear regression equation is PH 3 = À165 + 63.3 DP + 0.736 Al-P + 2.33 Ca-P + 2.29 Org-P. The flux of PH 3 across the sediment-water interface was estimated from sediment core incubation in May and October 2002. The annual average sediment-water flux of PH 3 was estimated at ca. 0.0138±0.005 pg dm À2 h À1 , the average yearly emission value of PH 3 from Taihu Lake sediments to water was calculated to be 28.3±10.2 g year À1 , which causes a water PH 3 concentration of up to 0.178±0.064 pmol dm À3 . The real importance of PH 3 could be higher, because PH 3 could be consumed in the oxic sediment-water boundary layer and in the water column. Spatial and temporal distributions of total phosphorus (TP w ) and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) in the water column of Taihu Lake were measured over the study period. Higher water PH 3 has also been found where the TP w content was high. Similarly, high Chl-a was consistent with higher water PH 3 . Positive relationships between PH 3 and TP w (average R 2 = 0.47±0.26) and Chl-a (average R 2 = 0.23±0.31) were observed in Taihu Lake water.
