An Evaluation of Phosphogypsum (PG) -Derived Nanohydroxyapatite (HAP) Synthesis Methods and Waste Management as a Phosphorus Source in the Agricultural Industry
Abstract:As a raw material, phosphorus availability in agriculture has been a critical concern in terms of phosphate rock consumption related to a price-dependent supply-demand chain. Novel approaches have been proposed for alternative phosphorus sources in agricultural applications. Although nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) is a commonly used bioceramic material, its utilization as an alternative phosphorus fertilizer is an emerging field. Phosphogypsum (PG), a by-product of wet process phosphoric acid production, is a promi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
