Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The natural environment is facing the threat of phosphorus compound pollution due to the use of pesticides and fertilizers and the discharge of domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and exhaust gas. The recovery of phosphorus resources from the pollution source is one of the most attractive research fields, as phosphorus is an important active and non-renewable resource with a wide range of applications. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following: New approaches that can separate phosphorus compounds or their derivatives from the pollution source for subsequent high value-added resource utilization. In addition to extracting and concentrating phosphorus compounds, research on the biomineralization crystallization of guano stone and kyanite, as well as the anaerobic production and release of PH3 in domestic and industrial wastewater, is also particularly popular. In addition, research on new methods for utilizing high value-added resources and the related theoretical calculations, as well as new analytical methods and applications, is also welcome.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute your research articles, communications, or reviews to this Special lssue dedicated to novel approaches to phosphorus pollutant control and phosphorus recovery.
Dr. Xuejiao Tang
