Control of Phosphorus Pollution: Applications of Phoslock explained. A complicated, worldwide issue, nutrient contamination has the potential to harm aquatic systems.
Even with effective watershed management, phosphorus can be retained within waterbodies and cycled from bed sediments to surrounding waters (internal loading), allowing for ongoing poor water quality that can possibly delay recovery for decades.
Continued poor water quality damages the structure and functionality of lakes, which ultimately results in a decline in biodiversity.
By lowering the quantities of phosphorus in the water column and the amount of phosphorus released from lake-bed sediments, in-lake remediation techniques like Lanthanum-modified bentonite (Phoslock) have been employed to help lakes suffering from internal loading recover more quickly.
We will cover how Phoslock functions, what goes into dosage calculations, application strategies, and the ecotoxicological profile of Phoslock in this webinar co-hosted by Smart Water Magazine and Phoslock to illustrate the global difficulties faced by water management.
In order to demonstrate Phoslock’s adaptability, effectiveness, durability, and broader ecological advantages over conventional in-lake measures, we will also rely on a variety of Phoslock applications from throughout the world.
Results from full lake applications in Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom, where treatment dramatically improved water quality, will be discussed.
