| Description | Topic: Mitigating eutrophication and cyanobacteria blooms
Managing Eutrophication in a cheap, easy, safe and efficient way is still a challenge. Here, we would like to test if adding Iron (II) chloride directly in the sediments will be able to block phosphorus release by forming vivianite, a hydrated iron phosphate mineral. You will sample cores from different lakes and treat them with different concentrations of Iron (II) chloride. |
