Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT: In this study, novel technology was developed to convert dolomite

2

phosphate rock (DPR) into slow release P fertilizers. The DPR was powdered to < 100

3

mesh and activated with organic molecules under optimal reaction conditions. As

4

compared to original DPR, available P, estimated by water soluble P released from the

5

three DPRs activated with three types of organic molecules, increased by 6.86, 3.32,

6

and 7.46 times, respectively. Phosphorus supply from the activated DPRs was greater

7

than that of superphosphates (SP). Use of activated DPRs resulted in a significant

8

increase in plant biomass of maize (Zea mays) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum)

9

(succeeding crop), as compared to original DPR, and displayed better effectiveness

10

than mono-ammonium phosphate or SP. The XRD and FTIR analyses showed that

11

activation did not change the crystal structure of DPR, but the interactions between

12

organic molecules and the P-bearing minerals stimulated P release from DPR.
