  • What evidence exists related to soil retention of phosphorus from On-Site Wastewater Treatment systems in boreal and temperate climate zones? A systematic map protocol
    Environmental Evidence, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ida Envall, Fritjof Fagerlund, Lena Johansson Westholm, Charlotte Åberg, Arvid Bring, Magnus Land, Jon Petter Gustafsson
    Abstract:

    Background Soil-based On-Site Wastewater Treatment systems (OWSs) are suspected to contribute to eutrophication of surface waters, due to the discharge of phosphorus (P). However, along the flow path between the facilities and surface waters, different processes contribute to delay the transport of phosphorus through the ground. This may reduce the unwanted impact on receiving water bodies. However, the strength and significance of this so-called soil retention remains unclear.In Sweden, there are nearly one million OWSs. To protect surface waters, a high P removal rate (up to 90%) is often required by the local municipalities. However, since these requirements may have costly consequences to property owners, it is debated as to whether they are too strict. In this debate, it is often claimed that the retention of P occurring in natural environments may be underestimated by authorities. Accordingly, there is a need for a scrutiny of the available evidence related to soil retention of phosphorus from OWSs. This is the objective of the planned systematic map. Focus will be on boreal and temperate climate zones.Methods Searches will be made for peer-reviewed articles and grey literature using bibliographic databases, search engines, specialist websites and stakeholder contacts. The references will be screened for relevance according to a predefined set of eligibility criteria. At stage one, after testing and clarifying the eligibility criteria, the references will be single-screened based on title and abstract. At stage two, potentially relevant references will be screened in full-text independently by two reviewers. We will compile a detailed database of the relevant studies. Moreover, a narrative report will be produced, describing the research landscape in general terms. This will be carried out with a conceptual model, describing the processes involved in P retention in natural environments, as a foundation. It will be discussed where the respective studies/study types fit into the conceptual model, and also evaluated how each study/study type can be related to the overarching question of eutrophication. Moreover, we will describe identified knowledge gaps that warrant further primary research effort, as well as identified knowledge clusters that could be suitable for systematic reviews.

  • metal removal by bed filter materials used in domestic Wastewater Treatment
    Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009
    Co-Authors: Agnieszka Renman, Jon Petter Gustafsson, Gunno Renman, Lars D Hylander
    Abstract:

    Bed filters using reactive materials are an emerging technology for On-Site Wastewater Treatment. Used materials, which are enriched with phosphorus, can be used as a fertiliser or soil amendment. ...

  • phosphate removal using blast furnace slags and opoka mechanisms
    Water Research, 2000
    Co-Authors: Lena Johansson, Jon Petter Gustafsson
    Abstract:

    The abiotic sorption efficiency of On-Site Wastewater Treatment systems can be improved by using a strongly sorbing filter material that, if it retains phosphorus (P) in a plant available way, can ...

  • effect of organic load on phosphorus and bacteria removal from Wastewater using alkaline filter materials
    Water Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Charlotte Nilsson, Lena Johansson Westholm, Gunno Renman, Agnieszka Renman, Aleksandra Drizo
    Abstract:

    The organic matter released from septic tanks can disturb the subsequent step in On-Site Wastewater Treatment such as the innovative filters for phosphorus removal. This study investigated the effe ...

  • substrates for phosphorus removal potential benefits for on site Wastewater Treatment
    Water Research, 2006
    Co-Authors: Lena Johansson Westholm
    Abstract:

    A large number of substrates potential for removal of phosphorus (P) in Wastewater has been reviewed. The substrates consist of natural materials, industrial by-products and man-made products. Most substrates have been investigated in batch and column studies in the laboratory; others have also been tested in field trials. The results from these investigations vary, but a few substrates, e.g. wollastonite, slag material and, to some extent, light weight aggregate products, have demonstrated promising properties with regard to P-sorption capacity and hydraulics. The problems of normalisation of data are discussed, as well as the substrates potential benefits for On-Site Wastewater Treatment.
