Its stability in soils is mainly due to its high affinity for soil colloids, especially Fe (oxyhydr)oxides. They have been acknowledged as mobile/reactive adsorbents for P in soil-water environments. Although several sorption mechanisms were proposed, it is not clear how multi phosphate groups of phytic acid contribute to the surface complexation and/or precipitation processes. In this study, sorption behavior of phytic acid in ferrihydrite was examined using experimental geochemistry, solution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated inner-sphere surface complexation via P1,3 and P2 functional groups under both pH 5 and 8.5. Under alkaline pH, an additional P5 functional group became active. Coprecipitation experiments showed evidence of the formation of Fe(III)-phytate-like bulk precipitates when the initial phytic acid/Fe(III) molar ratio was high (0.45-0.5). At the low phytic acid/Fe(III) (<0.1), the formation of ferrihydrite was unaffected, but further transformation was still inhibited. The study suggests a new role of phytic acid in the formation of Fe oxyhydroxide minerals.","abstract_html":"Phytic acid is the most predominant organic phosphorus species in soils.
