    Notes: Both P and Al MAS NMR spectra of samples of excessively fertilized sandy soil provided information about the P and Al speciation. Peak deconvolution was used to interpret reliably and quantitatively the 31P NMR spectra recorded. Most of the P was found to be associated with Al. Part of the P exhibited a chemical shift that could be attributed to octocalcium phosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate or apatite. Apatite has, however, never been reported to occur in sandy soils of temperate climates. A dithionite extraction used to remove interfering Fe from the samples also removed most of the octahedral Al-P phase. After oxalate extraction more than 99% of the original P signal disappeared. About 7.5 to 11 % of the total oxalate extractable P of the excessively fertilized soil was present as a Ca-P phase, even though these soils are slightly acid to acid. The estimated size of the Ca-P phase roughly corresponds to the size of the labile P pool of these soils, as assessed in long-term batch desorption experiments. It still remains unclear whether the labile P pool should be attributed solely to such a Ca-P phase.

    Notes: The sorption of phosphate on amorphous aluminium hydroxides was investigated using 27Al and 71P solid-state magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy, following the effect of different exposures to soluble phosphate. The spectra obtained were compared with the spectrum of amorphous aluminium phosphate. Aluminium in the unreacted hydroxide had a 100% octahedral co-ordination. When dried at 200°C and exposed to soluble phosphate, very little (maximum 0.1%) amorphous aluminium hydroxide transformed to a tetrahedral co-ordination (A1 bound by oxygen bridges to four P atoms), even after 120d. The tetrahedral co-ordination exists in aluminium phosphate gel, although most of its A1 atoms exhibit an octahedral co-ordination. For the aluminium hydroxide dried at 200°C, no formation of aluminium phosphate in which aluminium is in octahedral co-ordination could be detected, not even when the aluminium hydroxide was exposed to a phosphate solution for 120 d. We concluded that the formation of aluminium phosphate is restricted to the surface of the hydroxide. Most of the phosphate which is bound to the aluminium oxide however may not have formed a ‘bulk solid’ aluminium phosphate, but is adsorbed on the internal and external surface of the oxide. The same amorphous aluminium hydroxide, dried at 70°C instead of 200°C, is converted much more rapidly to aluminium phosphate when exposed to soluble phosphate. We propose a P-induced weathering mechanism to describe P sorption on amorphous aluminium hydroxides at high P concentrations. In addition to NMR, phosphate adsorption experiments conducted on aluminium hydroxides dried at different temperatures produced evidence that the porosity of the aluminium hydroxide aggregated particles can also be a factor controlling the rate of phosphate uptake from solution, if the aggregate is stable (is not resuspended) in solution.
