Abstract:

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) of APP1 (low polymerization degree) and APP2 (high polymerization degree) were used as the research objects. Based on the adsorption-desorption test, the adsorption and desorption characteristics of APP in typical acid and calcareous purple soils were investigated by using isothermal equation model, combined with the analysis of phosphorus (P) forms in the equilibrium solution in comparison with monoammonium phosphate (MAP), in order to provide theoretical basis for efficient utilization of APP in purple soils. The results showed that with the increase of P addition (1-300 mg·L-1), the adsorption of APP by acid purple soil increased first and then decreased, while always increased by calcareous purple soil. When the P addition was 1-100 mg·L-1, the adsorption of APP1 and APP2 by acid purple soil better fitted the Langmuir equation (R2=0.961) and Freundlich equation (R2=0.947), respectively, while the adsorption of APP by calcareous purple soil fitted the Freundlich equation (R2 of 0.995, 0.950, respectively). Two purple soils dominantly absorbed the polyphosphate (poly-P) in the APPs, especially for pyrophosphate (pyro-P), and the contribution rate of pyro-P in the APP1 and APP2 to P adsorption exceeded 76% and 36%, respectively. Under higher P addition, the negative adsorption phenomenon occurred for the adsorption of orthophosphate (ortho-P) in the APP by acid purple soil. Meanwhile, in the two purple soils, the desorption rate of ortho-P in the APP was higher than that of poly-P, and the desorption rate of ortho-P in acid purple soil with high adsorbed P even exceeded 100%. Under low P addition, the adsorption amount of APP was higher than that of MAP by two purple soils. APP increased the contents of Fe, Al and dissolved organic carbon, while reduced the content of Ca in the adsorption equilibrium solutions. In conclusion, APP with various P forms maintained ortho-P supply via promoting the ortho-P release from the soil, but not via reducing its adsorption by the soil. In addition, the distribution of P forms in the APP also determined its availability in the soil.
