Phosphorus recovery from wastes has become a worldwide concern. The P-bearing steelmaking slag generated from steel plant is considered a potential phosphorus source. In this study, a novel process of selective leaching-precipitation-alkaline wash was proposed to recover high-quality phosphate from steelmaking slag. During leaching, most of the P was dissolved from slag and Fe was almost insoluble. Increasing temperature and solid-liquid ratio significantly suppressed the dissolution of Si due to the formation of silica sols. An excellent selective leaching of P was achieved at pH 3 and 333 K. The dissolution ratio of P reached 83.5% while only 22.6% of Si was dissolved. The residue containing 49.5% FeO and 0.9% PO can be reused as a steelmaking feedstock, achieving the recycling in plant. In the dilute leachate, the precipitation of Si and Ca was significantly suppressed as the pH increased and a precipitate with higher PO content and lower SiO content was extracted. A large amount of SiO was removed from the precipitate by alkaline wash. A precipitate containing 30.1% PO and 45.5% CaO was recovered in this process. This study provided a cost-effective approach to recovering high-quality phosphate.

Low phosphorus (P) use efficiency significantly impacts rice yields. An environmentally friendly approach to increase phosphorus absorption and utilization in rice involves the exploration of phosphorus-solubilizing fungal resources. This study aimed to isolate and characterize fungal strains from the rice rhizosphere and assess their phosphate solubilization capabilities, plant-growth-promoting (PGP) traits, and mechanisms involved.

Anisotropic carrier transport and deep-level defect of antimony selenosulfide (Sb(S,Se)) absorber are two vital auses restraining the photovoltaic performance of this emerging thin-film solar cell. Herein, chelate engineering is proposed to prepare high-quality Sb(S,Se) film based on hydrothermal deposition approach, which realizes desirable carrier transport and passivated defects by using tetrahedral PO ion in dibasic sodium phosphate (NaHPO, DSP). The PO Lewis structure, on one hand in the form of [(SbO)(PO)] chelate, can adsorb on the polar planes of cadmium sulfide (CdS) layer, promoting the heterogeneous nucleation, and on the other hand, the tetrahedral PO inhibits horizontal growth of (SbS(e)) ribbons due to size effects, thus achieving desirable [hk1] orientation.
