Phosphorus is a chemical element with the symbol P and atomic number 15. Elemental phosphorus exists in two major forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus, but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth. Phosphorus availability decreased with increase in pHRead more

Phosphorus availability decreased with increase in pH.Â
Phosphorus binds to calcium leaving less free phosphate ions available in solution.
So, increase % P results Basicity of iron.
In acidic soils phosphorus tends to react with aluminum, iron and manganese, while in alkaline soils the dominant fixation is with calcium.
See lessPresence of Phosphorous don't increase the basicity of iron. Basically, basicity increases by adding limestone or dolomite which is used to hold the phosphorus in slag by forming complex compound i.e.,CaO.P2O5 Phosphorus removal conditions are:- 1. High basicity 2. Low temperature 3. Oxidizing atmosRead more

Phosphorus removal conditions are:-
1. High basicity
2. Low temperature
3. Oxidizing atmosphere
4. High fluidity
5. 15-18% FeO must be present in the slag
