Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus "sinks." ...

Chemists Trap Simple Phosphorus Oxide Carbene-stabilized diphosphorus adduct splits molecular oxygen to form a stable version of diphosphorous tetroxide for the first time by Stephen K. Ritter ...

Iron oxide in soil performs the same transformation as plants and microbes that are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Northwestern ...

Modified (metal oxide) biochar is widely used for the remediation of degraded soils, but there has been limited research work on its effect on phosphorus (P) fractionation and biochemical properties ...

These include phosphorus oxide nitrides, which consist of phosphorus, nitrogen and oxygen and do not occur in nature.

Gas cloud WB89-621 has phosphorus oxide and phosphorus mononitride in similar abundance to what has been found in the Solar System, around it, and in the inner galaxy.

Brad Joern, Purdue Extension nutrient management planning specialist, said phosphorus levels will decrease each year on average by about 1 part per million (2 pounds per acre) for every 20 pounds of ...

Metal oxides are a promising catalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen as alternative energy. However, their effectiveness is restricted at low voltage. A ...

A new scientific paper from Teagasc has shown that getting soil phosphorus (P) levels right through a fertilizer program can significantly reduce emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent ...

A new sustainable method that simplifies phosphorus found in soil could potentially boost food production while at the same time, minimize fertilizer waste. The method involves the use of zinc ...

Plants and microbes are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Now, researchers report iron oxides can drive the same conversion at ...
