Broadcasting CaSiO3 slag on top of the soil reduced the flux of soil P up to 84% compared to an unamended soil control. However, incorporation of CaSiO3 slag into the soil was only minimally effective at reducing P release. These materials have a potential use in the construction of treatment wetlands in south Florida. Further work is needed to better define reaction mechanisms, investigate the long-term treatment efficacy of these materials and address other environmental questions concerning their use.", pages = "385-390(6)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/klu/wetl/2007/00000015/00000005/00009037" doi = "doi:10.1007/s11273-007-9037-7" }
