Abstract
Abstract

Experimental data on the phosphate release and sorption in soils, when inadequately described by a first‐order kinetic reaction, are often interpreted as a combination of two or three simultaneous first‐order reactions. A simple modified Elovich equation in the form:
q
= (1/β) ln (αβ) + (1/β) ln
t
was derived to fit the reported experimental data in literature that failed to conform to a single first‐order kinetic equation. In this equation,
q
is the amount of phosphate released or sorbed, and α and β are constants. The equation successfully described the data as a single straight line that covers the entire course of reaction time. It also appears that constants of α and β may be used for comparison of reaction rates of phosphate release or sorption in different soils.
