Abstract

Pig, cow, and sheep manure (PM, CM, and SM) are inevitable byproducts of agricultural economic development. Converting them into high add-on value biochar (PMB, CMB, and SMB) via pyrolysis is an efficient resource utilization measure. Phosphorus (P) speciation analyses help ensure the practical feasibility of the P reclamation of animal manure and their derived biochar and a reduction in environmental risk. This study conducted a modified extraction procedure to separate five inorganic P (IP) (soluble and loosely bound IP, aluminum-bound IP, Fe-bound IP, oxide-occluded IP, and Ca-bound IP) and organic P (OP) speciations, and combined X-ray diffraction (XRD) to investigate the major phosphate compound in the derived biochar after pyrolysis. Results revealed that more than 92% of P is concentrated in the derived biochar during pyrolysis processes carried out at 200–800 °C. The percentages of soluble and loosely bound IP, aluminum-bound IP, and OP in manure decreased significantly due to their transformation into more stable P fractions such as Ca-bound IP (79.01% in PMB, 800 °C) after pyrolysis. The Olsen-P percentages had a distinct reduction at 650 °C, indicating that pyrolysis at 650 °C was the optimal condition for the reduction in Olsen-P in manure.
