Despite the ability of fly ash (FA) to remove phosphorus (P) from water via sorption and precipitation, its use as a bedding material for planted floats has never been evaluated. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of FA on P removal and chlorophyll-a (an indicator of algal growth) reduction in P-contaminated water. Six different FA rates (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, and 50 w/w%; codes are FA(0), FA(2.5), FA(5), FA(10), FA(25), and FA(50), respectively) and two rice (Oryza sativa L) treatments (unplanted and planted) were investigated. The floats containing FA were placed on P-enriched (4 mg P L-1) baths. Water samples were collected periodically and analyzed for the concentrations of total P (TP), soluble P (SP), and chlorophylla. Both SP and TP decreased (P < 0.05) as FA rate increased, and rice planting further enhanced (P < 0.05) P removal. The first-order rate constants of TP decrease in FA(50) (0.143 and 0.192 day(-1) for rice unplanted and planted, respectively) were two-fold greater than those (0.072 and 0.090 day(-1), respectively) in FA(0). Regardless of rice planting, chlorophyll-a concentration in the treatments with FA at 0-10% increased rapidly up to 0.65 mg L-1 within 10 days after treatment; however, those in FA(25) and FA(50) were consistently lower than 0.05 mg L-1, indicating suppression of algal growth, probably due to enhanced P removal by FA. However, increased salinity by FA mixing might further contribute to the suppression of algal growth. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
