Phosphorfällung über Calciumcarbonat im eutrophen Wallersee (Salzburger Alpenvorland, Österreich). Coprecipitation of Phosphorus with Calcite in the Eutrophic Wallersee (Alpine Foreland of Salzburg, Austria)
Abstract By chemical analyses at the eutrophic Wallersee (Austria) a considerable precipitation of calcite during autumn overturn was found. It is a pure anorganic calcite precipitation, caused by the loss of free carbonic acid to the atmosphere during the mixing of epilimnic and hypolimnic water. A...

| Summary: | Abstract By chemical analyses at the eutrophic Wallersee (Austria) a considerable precipitation of calcite during autumn overturn was found. It is a pure anorganic calcite precipitation, caused by the loss of free carbonic acid to the atmosphere during the mixing of epilimnic and hypolimnic water. An essential coprecipitation of phosphorus with the anorganic calcite precipitation could be shown by calcium and phosphorus balances and by SEM investigations. During the epilimnic biogenic calcite precipitation (in summer) phosphorus coprecipitation makes 0.19% of the calcium fallout. Phosphorus coprecipitation increases up to 0.42 % during the anorganic calcite precipitation when autumn overturn takes place. With respect to the total phosphorus sedimentation in the lake 25 % are coprecipitated with calcite. |
