yes definitely, the colorimeter here is basically just a very simple spectrophotometer. you may want to consult sera17dotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/sera-17-methods-for-p-2000.pdf which cites a wavelength of 880 nm on the spec. note here for convenience and combining with the POXC method in another video, we are using a slightly different wavelength in the colorimeter.
You probably dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days =)
Can this method be used to calculate the amount of phosphorus in the sludge resulting from wastewater treatment before drawing water from it and after its drying?
Hi, well it will probably reflect some aspect of bio-available phosphorus, at least as a yardstick analagous to a soil fertility test. It will NOT reflect a quantitative measure of total P in the sludge, if that is of interest. That would be a more involved method with chemical digestion / ashing perhaps, and analysis of ash.
Thanks!
so how do you calculate P availability per acre?
Good evening, i would like to ask. Can i use spectrophotometer instead of calorimeter to analyse the phosphorus?. Thank you in advance.

@Benton Maxton Yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :D

@@lloqalla hi. Can we use this method for BIOCHAR to calculate plant available phosporous?
whats the reagent package?
search Hanna instruments HI93713-01 or HI93713-03 , it is the Hanna low range phosphate reagent pack
