Currently, in situ capping is a typical popular geoengineering method for eutrophication control. It is crucial to better understand the effect of microenvironment change due to capping, such as amended calcium peroxide material (ACPM) and Phoslock®, on phosphorus (P) adsorption and immobilization under the addition of external P. The microenvironment in sediment was presented by the concentration of O₂, NH₄⁺, and Fe²⁺ and microbial activity. The P removal and immobilization were also analyzed. The results show that the stronger oxidation in the microenvironment under the capping with ACPM was due to the higher reduction of NH₄⁺ and Fe²⁺ and the higher increase of microbial activity, compared to Phoslock®. Although, under the capping of ACPM, less amount of external P was removed and there was a faster release of sedimentary P, compared to Phoslock®, ACPM improved the transformation of P from mobile P fractions to inert P fractions. In addition, sedimentary P under the capping of ACPM presents less release than that under the capping of Phoslock® during the anaerobic incubation. However, the settlement of suspended solids decreased the function of capping. All these results indicated that the mechanism of P removal and immobilization was different under the capping of ACPM and Phoslock®.
