Sep. 13, 2022 Environmental scientists have developed a circular process for eliminating the risk posed by phosphoric acid plant wastewater. The process turns the environmentally toxic wastewater into clean water ...
Apr. 12, 2022 An enzyme that can help release phosphorus from its organic forms has been ...
July 15, 2021 Although a very promising solution for capturing solar energy, perovskite solar cells contain lead, which is toxic to the environment and a serious health hazard. Scientists have now found a very ...
Feb. 8, 2022 Phosphorus is one of the most important nutrients for plants. Among other functions, it is needed to create substances for the plant's immune system, for the healthy development of seeds and for ...
July 21, 2023 A team of chemists have developed an entirely new method for generating critically important fluorochemicals that bypasses the hazardous product hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas. The findings could achieve ...
Nov. 8, 2023 Some bacteria are able to tap into unusual sources of nutrients in the surface water of the oceans. This enables them to increase their primary production and extract more carbon dioxide from the ...
Sep. 21, 2022 In a new study, nearly 400 food samples were tested for evidence of organophosphate esters (OPEs) -- chemicals used as flame retardants in furnishings and textiles, building, food packaging materials ...
June 5, 2021 Researchers have developed a way to repeatedly remove and reuse phosphate from polluted waters. The team's Phosphate Elimination and Recovery Lightweight (PEARL) membrane is a porous, flexible ...
May 1, 2023 Researchers have characterized two different types of surface water in the hyperarid salars -- or salt flats -- that contain much of the world's lithium deposits. This new characterization ...
May 2, 2023 A recent study found that many of the fossils from Germany's Posidonia shale do not get their gleam from pyrite, commonly known as fool's gold, which was long thought to be the source of ...
