Phosphorus Solubilization During Anaerobic Decomposition of Algae

摘要

The objective of this work was to investigate the significance of sulfate reduction in solubilizing phosphate in aqueous systems. The principal accomplishments were related to experimental design and theoretical considerations. The following tasks were performed: (1) a dynamic model for algal growth was developed; (2) a literature search on algal culturing was conducted; and (3) a chemical equilibrium model was applied to an iron-phosphate-sulfide-carbonate aqueous system.
