Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is essential for all life forms and is crucial for global food security. With concerns about a potential P peak scenario affecting P importing nations, sustainable P extraction methods are necessary. This thesis employs quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) method based molecular dynamics simulations to examine common phosphates phosphoric acid, glycerolphosphate and inositolhexaphosphate interaction with P-fixing minerals goethite and its isomorphous diaspore. This interdisciplinary approach enhances our understanding of phosphate binding in soil.
