Phosphorus raw materials are non-renewable, and their resources are shrinking faster and faster as a result of increased fertilizer production. This is due to the increasing population and the need to produce more food. Phosphorus, on the other hand, is one of the main nutrients of plants, without which it is impossible to conduct intensive agricultural production. There are no economically significant phosphate resources in Europe, so they must be imported. That is why it is so important to reduce losses and recover this element from waste streams, which was reflected in the new EU Regulation 2019/1009. A prospective option is to use waste phosphates from the production of polyether polyols. Previous studies show that they contain about 20% phosphorus. Due to their high water content, the most advantageous form of their application is the production of fertilizers in the form of a suspension. The aim of the study is to assess the possibility of using waste phosphates from the production of polyols as raw materials for the production of suspension fertilizers.

In this study, the zirconium-based metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) was applied as the adsorbent for phosphorus (P) pollution in water. Then the phosphate-adsorbed metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were used as a recycled raw material and calcined to obtain P-doped MOFs-derived carbon material (ZrP@Zr-BTC). Next, the ZrP@Zr-BTC was used for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for the ceftriaxone sodium degradation.

Battery technology has attained a key position as an energy storage technology in decarbonization of energy systems. Lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant technology currently used in consumer appliances, electric vehicles (EVs), and industrial applications. However, lithium-ion batteries are not alike and can have different cathode chemistries which makes their recycling more complex.

The use of traditional sealing materials in buildings poses a significant risk of fire and noise pollution. To address these issues, we propose a novel composite functional sealant designed to enhance fire safety and sound insulation. The sealant incorporates a unique four-component filler system consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with layered double hydroxides (LDHs), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), and artificial marble waste powder (AMWP), namely CLAA.

This study investigates whether the apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM), which is mostly bound to pentameric IgM, could serve as an effective indicator.
Methods: We prospectively followed 423 patients at dialysis initiation and 563 at various CKD stages.
