The recycling and utilization of phosphorus resources in sludge is becoming increasingly important. In this study, we compared the conversion of phosphorus and toxic metal passivation effects of different Ca additives under oxygen-rich combustion conditions and elucidated their specific mechanisms of action. The experimental results indicated that four Ca-based additives improved the recovery rate of total phosphorus, and promoted the generation of stable apatite phosphorus (AP).

Nanoparticle-assisted enhanced oil recovery (Nano-EOR) has attracted intensive interest in the laboratory as a promising oil recovery technology. However, the nanoparticles' stability and long-distance delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) in large-scale reservoirs are two main challenges. In this work, we developed a novel concept of synthesizing NPs at the oil-water interface inside the reservoir for EOR instead of injecting presynthesized NPs from outside.

Iron oxide nanoparticle (IONPs) have become a subject of interest in various biomedical fields due to their magnetism and biocompatibility. They can be utilized as heat mediators in magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) or as contrast media in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound (US). In addition, their high drug-loading capacity enabled them to be therapeutic agent transporters for malignancy treatment.

This paper aims to examine the influence of various catalysts on biodiesel production, especially from non-food feedstocks with an ambition to optimize the catalytic biodiesel production. Homogenous acid catalysts are mainly used in biodiesel production, but they cannot be recovered and demand costly fuel purification as being corrosive. Similarly, enzyme catalysts are expensive in industrial-scale production of biodiesel.

Damage to the water resources and environment as a consequence of oil production and use of fossil fuels, has increased the need for applying various technologies and developing effective materials to remove contaminates from oily wastewaters resources. One of the challenges for an economic industrial wastewater treatment is separation and reusability of the developed purifying agents. Development of magnetic materials could potentially facilitate easier and more economic separation of purifying agents.
