Backwater makes the tributaries of large river becoming phosphorus "sink".

The complex hydrological conditions caused by the backwater effect at the confluence inevitably modify the geochemical processes of elements. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the precise transformation mechanisms of nutrients in large river systems. This study aimed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics and their impact on phosphorus transfer in the lower Han River, which is influenced by backwater from the Yangtze River (the largest river in China). By establishing a hydrodynamic-water quality model, we have determined that the discharge ratio (the ratio of flow between the Han River discharge and the Yangtze River discharge) can be utilized as a representative indicator of the backwater effect from the Yangtze River on the Han River. Three distinct patterns were identified in this study: mixing, backwater, and intrusion. The corresponding discharge ratio values were categorized as >0.08, 0.01∼0.08, and <0.01 respectively. Additionally, the extent of the backwater zone was determined, revealing that the length of the backwater zone increased from 50 km (XG) to 100 km (FS) as the discharge ratio decreased from 0.08 to 0.01. Furthermore, it was observed that the water level at the confluence rose from 2.52 m to 6.83 m in accordance with these changes in discharge ratio values. The migration pattern of phosphorus primarily involved the settling and retention of particulate phosphorus, particularly the labile particulate organic phosphorus (LOP) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP). When the confluent patterns became the intrusion pattern, the backwater zone expanded to 150 m (XT), causing a 10.40 m increase in water level at the confluence. An intrusion zone formed, and its phosphorus concentrations were same as Yangtze River's. Above the intrusion area, a backwater region formed and its concentrations of LOP and DOP decreased, while the concentration of PO43- increased due to the release from resuspended particles. This release was induced by higher velocity of bottom water brought about by the water exchange of two rivers. The discharge ratio of 0.01-0.08 resulted in the sedimentation of LOP and DOP, causing the lower Han River to act as a "sink" for phosphorus, potentially exacerbating phosphorus pollution. Higher discharge ratios in spring led to phosphorus release from sediment, increasing dissolved phosphorus concentrations and raising the risk of algal blooms in the lower Han River. These findings have significant implications for larger rivers worldwide and provide insights into strategies for ecological management and prevention of algal blooms.

Absorbing oxygen carriers promotes phosphorus recovery from sludge via the microwave thermal conversion process.

This study aims to apply the Absorbing oxygen carriers (AOCs) to induce the migration and transformation of phosphorus compounds during the microwave thermal conversion of sludge so the hard-to-extract organic phosphorus (OP) can be converted to easy-to-extract inorganic phosphorus (IP) and be enriched onto the sludge char. The AOCs were recycled by screen separation from the IP-rich sludge char, with the latter being a renewable phosphorus source from sludge. The AOCs in this novel process enhanced the conversion efficiency of OP into non-apatite inorganic phosphorus (NAlP), which was further converted to apatite inorganic phosphorus (AP). Most phosphorus in the sludge char is presented in the form of orthophosphate.

Migration and transformation behaviors of antibiotics in water-sediment system under simulated light and wind waves.

Antibiotics can generally be detected in the water-sediment systems of lakes. However, research on the migration and transformation of antibiotics in water-sediment systems based on the influences of light and wind waves is minimal. To address this research gap, we investigated the specific impacts of light and wind waves on the migration and transformation of three antibiotics, norfloxacin (NOR), trimethoprim (TMP), and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), under simulated light and wind waves disturbance conditions in a water-sediment system from Taihu Lake, China. In the overlying water, NOR was removed the fastest, followed by TMP and SMX. Compared to the no wind waves groups, the disturbance of big wind waves reduced the proportion of antibiotics in the overlying water. The contributions of light and wind waves to TMP and SMX degradation were greater than those of microbial degradation. However, the non-biological and biological contributions of NOR to degradation were almost equal. Wind waves had a significant impact on the microbial community changes in the sediment, especially in Methylophylaceae. These results verified the influence of light and wind waves on the migration and transformation of antibiotics, and provide assistance for the risk of antibiotic occurrence in water and sediments.

Promotion of rice seedlings growth and enhancement of cadmium immobilization under cadmium stress with two types of organic fertilizer.

Cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil poses a severe threat to crop production and human health, while also resulting in a waste of land resources. In this study, two types of organic fertilizer (ZCK: Low-content available iron; Z2: High-content available iron) were applied to Cd-contaminated soil for rice cultivation, and the effects of the fertilizer on rice growth and Cd passivation were investigated in conjunction with soil microbial analysis. Results showed that Z2 could alter the composition, structure, and diversity of microbial communities, as well as enhance the complexity and stability of the microbial network. Both 2% and 5% Z2 significantly increased the fresh weight and dry weight of rice plants while suppressing Cd absorption. The 2% Z2 exhibited the best Cd passivation effect. Gene predictions suggested that Z2 may promote plant growth by regulating microbial production of organic acids that dissolve phosphorus and potassium. Furthermore, it is suggested that Z2 may facilitate the absorption and immobilization of soil cadmium through the regulation of microbial cadmium efflux and uptake systems, as well as via the secretion of extracellular polysaccharides. In summary, Z2 can promote rice growth, suppress Cd absorption by rice, and passivate soil Cd by regulating soil microbial communities.

Transformation and environmental chemical characteristics of hazardous trace elements in an 800 t/d waste incineration thermal power plant.

The hazardous trace elements (HTEs) emitted during the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process have been widely concerned. In this work, the bottom ash (BA), heat recovery boiler ash (HA), and ash after desulfurization (SA) were collected to explore the occurrence forms of HTEs in the three types of ash and their relationship with minerals and leaching characteristics. The results show that the volatility of the seven studied HTEs follows the order of Cd, As > Ni, Zn > Pb > Cr, Cu. In the process of BA â†’ HA â†’ SA, the content of Cd, As, Zn, and Pb shows an increasing trend. The seven HTEs are mainly in the forms of chlorides and oxides. There is an obvious relationship between the occurrence forms and simulated existence form of HTEs. SiO2 and CaCO3 are the major mineral components in the three ashes, while SA also contains chlorine-containing compounds which are easily leached out. The risk assessment code and soluble ratio show that HTEs in SA are more leachable than BA and HA, where Cd, Pb and Ni need to be addressed to reduce their impact on soil or water during subsequent landfill treatment of SA.

["Load-Unload" Effect of Manganese Oxides on Phosphorus in Surface Water of the Pearl River Estuary].

Phosphorus (P) conveyed by surface runoff plays an essential role in regulating nutrient balance and primary production in estuarine waters. In this study, basic physiochemical properties, total phosphorus (TP, including speciation), particulate iron (PFe), particulate manganese (PMn), and particulate aluminum (PAl) of the surface water in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) in different seasons were determined to investigate the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of P and to identify the crucial factor controlling P migration and transformation in the freshwater-saltwater interaction zone. TP concentrations (28.88-233.68 µg·L-1) decreased with increasing salinity gradient owing to deposition and dilution. The proportions of P speciation followed a decreasing order as dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP, 37.3%) > particulate inorganic phosphorus (PIP, 22.7%) > dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP, 21.0%) > particulate organic phosphorus (POP, 19.0%). PIP was positively related to PFe, PMn, and PAl (P < 0.05), confirming their concurrent migration behaviors. In addition, the increase in salinity promoted the desorption of phosphate on the suspended particulate matters, which mainly took place near the freshwater-saltwater interface. A significant positive correlation (P < 0.001) between the solid-liquid phase partitioning coefficient (Kd) of phosphate and salinity indicated that PIP was present mainly in more stable forms in the brackish water. Most importantly, a better relationship between Kd and PMn (P < 0.01) supported our scientific hypothesis of the "load-unload" effect of Mn oxides on P:particulate-carrying phosphates transported from the freshwater zone tend to be desorbed and released into the brackish water.

Migration and transformation of phosphorus and toxic metals during sludge incineration with Ca additives.

The recycling and utilization of phosphorus resources in sludge is becoming increasingly important. In this study, we compared the conversion of phosphorus and toxic metal passivation effects of different Ca additives under oxygen-rich combustion conditions and elucidated their specific mechanisms of action. The experimental results indicated that four Ca-based additives improved the recovery rate of total phosphorus, and promoted the generation of stable apatite phosphorus (AP). The effect of CaCl2 and CaO was greater than that of Ca(OH)2 and CaSO4. CaCl2 promoted the formation of Ca3(PO4)2 and Ca2P2O7, and CaSO4 improved the conversion of AlPO4 to Ca(H2PO4)2 with increasing temperature. The conversion capacity of CaO on non-apatite inorganic phosphorus to AP was greater than that of Ca(OH)2, and more CaH2P2O7, Ca(PO3)2, and Ca-Al-P minerals were found. Toxic metal percentages decreased after sludge incineration with CaCl2. Compared with CaO and Ca(OH)2, the toxic metal adsorption effect of CaSO4 was more significant. The influence of Ca additives on the conversion of Zn into stable components was as follows: CaCl2 > Ca(OH)2 > CaO > CaSO4. Ca additives reduced the toxic metal contamination level and ecological risk index values, and the order of toxic metal contamination levels was Ni > Zn > Cr > Cu > Mn. The experiment confirmed the conversion of phosphorus and the toxic metal passivation effect of Ca additives during oxy-fuel combustion of sludge, which is beneficial for its resource utilization.

Transformation mechanisms of ammonium and nitrate in subsurface wastewater infiltration system: Implication for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Subsurface wastewater infiltration system (SWIS) has been recognized as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly tool for wastewater treatment. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the transformation processes of nitrogen (N), hindering the improvement of the N removal efficiency in SWIS. Here, the migration and transformation mechanisms of ammonium (NH4+-N) and nitrate (NO3+-N) over 10 days were explored by 15N labeling technique. Over the study period, 49% of the added 15NH4+-N remained in the soil, 29% was removed via gaseous N emissions, and 14% was leaked with the effluent in the SWIS. In contrast, only 11% of the added 15NO3--N remained in the soil while 65% of the added 15NO3--N was removed via gaseous N emissions, and 12% with the effluent in the SWIS. The main pathway for N2O emission was denitrification (52-70%) followed by nitrification (15-28%) and co-denitrification (9-20%). Denitrification was also the predominant pathway for N loss as N2, accounting for 88-96% of the N2 emission. The dominant biological transformation processes were different at divergent soil depths, corresponding to nitrification zone and denitrification zone along the longitudinal continuum in SWIS, which was confirmed by the expression patterns of microbial gene abundance. Overall, our findings reveal the mechanism of N transformation in SWIS and provide a theoretical basis for establishing a pollutant management strategy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from domestic wastewater treatment.

Tracing the attenuation of fipronil and its transformation products from a rice paddy field to receiving rivers using polar organic chemical integrative samplers.

Irrational use of fipronil for rice pest control often occurred, resulting in high concentrations of fipronil and its transformation products (TPs) (collectively termed fiproles) in aquatic sediment, calling for a better understanding of the migration and transformation of fipronil in surface water as well as efficient methods for source identification. Herein, the fate and transport of fiproles from a paddy field to receiving rivers were assessed in Poyang Lake basin, Jiangxi, China using polar organic chemical integrative samplers with mixed-mode adsorbents (POCIS-MMA). Average concentrations of fiproles in water were 6.16 ± 6.32 ng/L, with median, minimum, and maximum values being 2.99 ± 0.67, 0.40 ± 0.08, and 18.6 ± 3.1 ng/L, respectively. In all samples, over half of fiproles (55.9 %-90.8 %) presented in the form of TPs and fipronil desulfinyl was the dominant TP. Two approaches were applied for source identification, including the change of molar concentration ratios of fipronil to its TPs and the relative attenuation values of fiproles normalized to a reference compound (acetamiprid) that was stable in aquatic environment. While the paddy field upstream was the main source of waterborne fiproles, additional input sources in the downstream region were identified. The present study indicated that the combination of attenuation of molar concentration ratios of micro-pollutants to their respective TPs and relative attenuation values of micro-pollutants' concentrations normalized to a reference compound measured by POCIS is an effective means to study the migration and transformation of micro-pollutants in field.

Biogeochemical behavior and ecological environmental effects of fluoroquinolones.

Synthetic fluoroquinolones (FQs) are the third most commonly used antibiotics in the world and play an extremely important role in antibacterial drugs. The excessive use and discharge will alter ecological environment, with consequence on human health and global sustainable development. It is therefore of great significance for scientific use and management of FQs to systematically understand their biogeochemical behavior and eco-environmental effects. After drug administration in humans and animals, only a small part of FQs are transformed in vivo. The main transformation processes include formylation, acetylation, oxidation and cleavage of piperazine ring, defluorination and decarboxylation of aromatic core ring, etc. About 70% of the original drug and a small amount of transformed products would be migrated to the environment through excretion. After entering the environment, FQs and their transformation products mainly exist in environmental media such as water, soil and sediment, and undergo migration and transformation processes such as adsorption, photolysis and biodegradation. Adsorption facilitates transfer of FQs from medium to another. The photolysis mainly affects the C7-amine substituents of FQs, whereas the core structure of FQs remains intact. Biodegradation mainly refers to the degradation of FQs by microorganisms and microalgae, including piperazine modification of the piperazine ring such as acetylation and formylation, partial or complete ring cleavage, core structure decarboxylation, defluorination and conjugation formation. The migration and transformation processes of FQs cannot completely eliminate them from the environment. Instead, they would become "pseudo-persistent" pollutants, which seriously affect the behavior, growth and reproduction of algae, crustaceans and fish, change biogeochemical cycle, destroy aquatic environment, and stimulate microbial resistance and the generation of resistance genes. In the future, more in-depth studies should be conducted on the environmental behavior of FQs and their impacts on ecological environment, the risk assessment of microbial resistance and resistance genes of FQs, and the mechanism and effect of micro-biodegradation of FQs.

Roles of Chloride and Sulfate Ions in Controlling Cadmium Transport in a Soil-Rice System as Evidenced by the Cd Isotope Fingerprint.

Anions accompanying inorganic fertilizers, such as chloride and sulfate ions, potentially affect the solubility, uptake, and transport of Cd to rice grains. However, the role of anions in controlling Cd transport in the soil-soil solution-Fe plaque-rice plant continuum remains poorly understood. Cd isotope ratios were applied to Cd-contaminated soil pots, hydroponic rice, and adsorption experiments with or without KCl and K2SO4 treatments to decipher transport processes in the complex soil-rice system. The chloride and sulfate ions increased the Cd concentrations in the soil solution, Fe plaque, and rice plants. Accordingly, the magnitude of positive fractionation from soil to the soil solution was less pronounced, but that between soil and Fe plaque or rice plant is barely varied. The similar isotope composition of Fe plaque and soil, and the similar fractionation magnitude between Fe plaque and the solution and between goethite and the solution, suggested that desorption-sorption between iron oxides and the solution could be important at the soil-soil solution-Fe plaque continuum. This study reveals the roles of chloride and sulfate ions: (i) induce the mobility of light Cd isotopes from soil to the soil solution, (ii) chloro-Cd and sulfato-Cd complexes contribute to Cd immobilization in the Fe plaque and uptake into roots, and (iii) facilitate second leaves/node II-to-grain Cd transport within shoots. These results provide insights into the anion-induced Cd isotope effect in the soil-rice system and the roles of anions in facilitating Cd migration and transformation.

Two halogenated flame retardants and cadmium in the soil-rice system: sorption, root uptake, and translocation.

The migration and transformation of Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), DechloranePlus (DP), and cadmium in soil-rice system was investigated, and the influence on the quality of two varieties of rice was studied. The degradation half-lives of TBBPA, BBPAs, syn-DP, and anti-DP were 23.18 ~ 26.36 days, 30.14 ~ 36.10 days, 72.96-81.55 days, and 169.06-198.04 days in the soil. TBBPA was gradually degraded to tri-BBPA, di-BBPA, mono-BBPA, and bisphenol A by the debromination. TBBPA and its bromide metabolites could be bioaccumulated in different tissues of rice; mono-BBPA and bisphenol A was easy to accumulate in the stems, and bisphenol A was easy to bioaccumulate in the grain. Comparing with single and compound pollution, there was no significant difference in bioaccumulation factors of two rice species. The grain of NO7 had stronger bioaccumulation ability to mono-BBPA and BPA than NO1, and there is no significant difference in TBBPA. Residual level of DP in the rice: roots > stems > grain; there was no significant difference in bioaccumulation of two varieties of rice. Cadmium was easily bioaccumulated in the roots of rice and translocated to the rice stems and grains. NO7 rice had stronger bioaccumulation and transport capacity than NO1. The effects of the three pollutants on the quality of two varieties of rice varied significantly; cadmium had the greatest effect on the iodine blue value (BV) and amylase activity of the grain. This study proved that selecting rice varieties with low bioaccumulation to polluters can effectively reduce the risk of the food chain harming human health.

Effect and environmental behaviour of microplastics in soil.

Soil microplastic pollution is currently a worldwide concern. Microplastics are organic pollutants that are abundant in the natural environment, are persistent and difficult to degrade and may endanger human health while harming the environment. This article offers a bibliometric analysis of the environmental behaviour of microplastics in soils, as well as a thorough statistical analysis of research goals and trends in this field. We conducted a thorough search of all relevant literature from 2012 to 2022 in the Web of Science core database. The data analysis shows that, starting in 2012, there has been an upward trend in the number of articles about soil microplastic pollution. It can also be seen that China is relatively ahead of the curve in this area of research, followed by the United Kingdom and the United States. This article also systematically describes the research hotspots in this field. The results show that the current research on soil microplastics is mainly focused on their identification, enrichment and toxicity, whereas studies on the migration and transformation of soil microplastics and the mechanism of interaction with other pollutants are still lacking. Our results provide ideas and prospects for future research in this field.

Isotopic signatures unveil the lead sources and migration in surface mangrove sediments.

Mangrove sediments act as both sinks and secondary sources for lead (Pb), yet the sources, migration, and transformations of Pb in mangrove environments are poorly understood. In this study, Pb concentration in three mangrove sediments adjacent to different land-use types was evaluated. The Pb sources were quantitatively identified using Pb isotopes. Our data indicated minor Pb contamination in the mangrove sediments, possibly due to the relative lack of developed industry in this region. The Pb isotopic ratios suggested, on average, natural sources, coal combustion, agricultural activities, and traffic-related emissions respectively contributed approximately 61.4 %, 18.8 %, 14.0 %, and 5.8 % of the Pb accumulation in the mangrove sediments, suggesting that coal combustion and agriculture were important anthropogenic Pb sources. Significant relationships were observed between the 206Pb/207Pb ratios and total organic content (TOC) in mangrove sediments, which implied contrasting Pb cycling in two mangrove environments. We further suggested that organic matter and sulfur content significantly reduced Pb mobility and bioavailability in mangrove sediments. Our study provides isotopic method to investigate the Pb sources and migration in the mangrove environment.

[Analysis on the Distribution Characteristics and Influence Mechanism of Migration and Transformation of Heavy Metals in Mining Wasteland].

In order to explore the distribution characteristics and the influence mechanism of migration and transformation of heavy metals in mining wasteland, soil and tailings samples were collected from the mining wasteland in the Dabaoshan Mining area, Guangdong Province, and the morphological characteristics of heavy metals were analyzed. At the same time, the pollution sources of the mining area were analyzed using Pb stable isotope analysis, and the characteristics and influencing factors of heavy metal migration and transformation in the mining area were expounded by combining X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscope-energy spectrum analysis (TEM-EDS), and Raman analysis of typical minerals in the mining area, as well as laboratory-simulated leaching experiments. Morphological analysis showed that the forms of Cd, Pb, and As in the soil and tailings samples in the mining area were mainly the residual phase, accounting for 85%-95% of the total, followed by the iron and manganese oxide-bound form (1%-15%). The main mineral types in the soil and tailings in the Dabaoshan Mining area were pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), and metal oxides, as well as a small amount of sphalerite (ZnS) and galena (PbS). Acidic conditions (pH=3.0) were beneficial to the release and migration of Cd and Pb from soil, tailings, and minerals (pyrite, chalcopyrite) and from the residual phase to the non-residual phase. Lead isotope analysis showed that the lead in the soil and tailings mainly came from the release of metal minerals in the mining area, and the contribution of diesel in the mining area was less than 30%. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Sphalerite, and Metal oxide were the main sources of heavy metals in the soil and tailings in the mining area, in which Cd, As, and Pb were mainly contributed by sphalerite and metal oxide. The form change in heavy metals in the mining wasteland was easily affected by environmental factors. The form characteristics and migration and transformation factors of heavy metals should be considered in the source control of heavy metal pollution in mining wasteland.

Antimony isotope fractionation and the key controls in the soil profiles of an antimony smelting area.

The controlling factors of antimony migration and transformation in soil profiles are still unclear. Antimony isotopes might be a useful tool to trace it. In this paper, antimony isotopic compositions of plant and smelter-derived samples, and two soil profiles were measured for the first time. The δ123Sb values of the surface and bottom layers of the two soil profiles varied in 0.23‰-1.19‰ and 0.58‰-0.66‰, respectively, while δ123Sb of the smelter-derived samples varied in 0.29‰-0.38‰. The results show that the antimony isotopic compositions in the soil profiles are affected by post-depositional biogeochemical processes. The enrichment and loss of light isotopes at 0-10 cm and 10-40 cm layers of the contrasted soil profile may be controlled by plant uptake process. The loss and enrichment of heavy isotopes in the 0-10 cm and 10-25 cm layers of the antimony from smelting source in the polluted soil profile may be controlled by the adsorption process, while the enrichment of light isotopes in the 25-80 cm layer may be related to the reductive dissolution process. The conclusion emphasizes that the promotion of the Sb isotope fractionation mechanism will play a crucial role in understanding the migration and transformation behaviors of Sb in soil systems.

Microplastics in soils during the COVID-19 pandemic: Sources, migration and transformations, and remediation technologies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a notable upsurge of 5-10 % in global plastic production, which could have potential implications on the soil quality through increased microplastics (MPs) content. The elevated levels of MPs in the soil poses a significant threat to both the environment and human health, hence necessitating the remediation of MPs in the environment. Despite the significant attention given to MPs remediation in aqueous environments, less consideration has been given to MPs remediation in the soil. Consequently, this review highlights the major sources of MPs in the soil, their migration and transformation behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and emphasizes the importance of utilizing remediation technologies such as phytoremediation, thermal treatment, microbial degradation, and photodegradation for MPs in the soil. Furthermore, this review provides a prospective outlook on potential future remediation methods for MPs in the soil. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is nearing its end, the long-term impact of MPs on the soil remains, making this review a valuable reference for the remediation of MPs in the post-pandemic soil.

Applications, impacts, and management of biochar persistent free radicals: A review.

Biochar is a promising environmental contaminant remediation agent because of its adsorptive and catalytic properties. However, the environmental effects of persistent free radicals (PFRs) produced by biomass pyrolysis (biochar production) are still poorly understood, though they have received increasing research attention in recent years. Although PFRs both directly and indirectly mediate biochar's removal of environmental pollutants, they also have the potential to cause ecological damage. In order to support and sustain biochar applications, effective strategies are needed to control the negative effects of biochar PFRs. Yet, there has been no systematic evaluation of the environmental behavior, risks, or management techniques of biochar PFRs. Thus, this review: 1) outlines the formation mechanisms and types of biochar PFRs, 2) evaluates their environmental applications and potential risks, 3) summarizes their environmental migration and transformation, and 4) explores effective management strategies for biochar PFRs during both production and application phases. Finally, future research directions are recommended.

New insights into nitrogen control strategies in sewage sludge pyrolysis toward environmental and economic sustainability.

Sewage sludge (SS) contains a certain amount of nitrogen (N), resulting in various content of N in the pyrolysis products. Investigates on how to control the generation of NH3 and HCN (deleterious gas-N species) or convert it to N2 and maximize transforming N in sewage sludge (SS-N) into potentially valuable N-containing products (such as char-N and/or liquid-N) are of great significance for SS management. Understanding the nitrogen migration and transformation (NMT) mechanisms in SS during the pyrolysis process is essential for investigating the aforementioned issues. Therefore, in this review, the N content and species in SS are summarized, and the influencing factors during the SS pyrolysis process (such as temperature, minerals, atmosphere, and heating rate) that affect NMT in char, gas, and liquid products are analyzed. Furthermore, N control strategies in SS pyrolysis products are proposed toward environmental and economic sustainability. Finally, the state-of-the-art of current research and future prospects are summarized, with a focus on the generation of value-added liquid-N and char-N products, while concurrently reducing NOx emission.

[Accumulation, Migration, and Transformation of Soil Phosphorus in Facility Agriculture and Its Influencing Factors].

The aim of this study was to apply phosphorus fertilizer scientifically and reasonably and reduce the pollution risk to the facility agricultural environment. Taking the facility agriculture concentration area in Daxing District of Beijing as the research object, the phosphorus content in soil (0-100 cm) of the facility agriculture profile with different planting years was measured and analyzed to explore the characteristics of phosphorus accumulation, migration, and transformation. The results showed that the contents of total phosphorus and available phosphorus in the surface soil of facility agriculture varied widely, which was significantly higher than that in the surrounding grain field soil, which was mainly related to the amount of phosphorus applied by farmers in different planting years. With the increase in soil depth, the contents of total phosphorus and available phosphorus decreased gradually, showing surface aggregation ω (total phosphorus) ranging from 0.38 to 2.58 g·kg-1 and ω (available phosphorus) ranging from 1.60 to 256.00 mg·kg-1. With the increase in planting years, the contents of soil total phosphorus and available phosphorus first increased and then decreased, reached a peak in approximately 15 years, then gradually decreased, tended to be stable, and generally remained at a high level. Inorganic phosphorus was mainly concentrated in the surface soil of the facility agriculture, in which Ca-P accounted for the largest proportion of inorganic phosphorus, up to 98.38%; Ca10-P was the main form of Ca-P, up to 78.70% of Ca-P, and Ca2-P accounted for the smallest proportion, only 9.50% of Ca-P. The contents of different forms of inorganic phosphorus showed the vertical distribution characteristics of enrichment in the surface soil and a decrease downward. There were differences in the proportion of different forms of inorganic phosphorus to total phosphorus in different soil depths, in which the change in Ca-P was obvious, whereas the change in Fe-P and 0-P was not significant, indicating that the migration and transformation of Fe-P and O-P in the facility agricultural soil was poor, and the migration and transformation of inorganic phosphorus was mainly Ca-P. According to the correlation and path analysis, the direct path coefficient of Ca2-P to available phosphorus was the largest (0.787), which was not only the main source of soil available phosphorus but also the main form of inorganic phosphorus migration and transformation. Under the condition of protected cultivation, soil phosphorus showed a large accumulation trend, the availability of Ca10-P was low, and the accumulation was large. How to improve this portion of phosphorus sources is the key to the management of protected soil phosphorus.
