Phosphorus recovery and recycling from model animal wastewaters using materials prepared from rice straw and corn cobs

Anthropogenic loss of phosphorus to surface waters not only causes environmental problems but depletes valuable phosphorus reserves. In this study, magnesium amended biochars and magnesium silicate, synthesized from corn cobs and rice straw, respectively, were evaluated for phosphorus uptake includi...
