Modelling nitrogen and phosphorus cycles and dissolved oxygen in the Zhujiang EstuaryⅠ.Model development

An ecosystem-based water quality model was designed to estimate the biochemical reaction of nutrient and dissolved oxygen in conjunction with a three-dimensional hydrodynamic and sediment model. As both phosphorus and nitrogen successively limit phytoplankton growth in many estuaries, the model simulates both there nutrient cycles each using five variables, namely, dissolved inorganic nutri- ent, detritic organic matter, benthic matter, phytoplankton and zooplankton.

Simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal under low dissolved oxygen conditions

A full-scale test was operated by using low dissolved oxygen activated sludge process to enhance biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. When the influent concentrations of CODCr, TN and TP varied in a range of 352.9 mg/L-1338.2 mg/L, 34.4 mg/L-96.3 mg/L, and 2.21 mg/L-24.0 mg/L, the average removal efficiencies were 94.9%, 86.7% and 93.0%, respectively. During the test period of two months, effluent meas of CODCr,, BOD5, NH3-N, TN and TP were below 50 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L respectively. The low dissolved oxygen activated sludge process has a simple flow sheet, fewer facilities and high N and P removal efficiency. It is very convenient to retrofit the conventional activated sludge process with the above process.

Coupled intramolecular/heterointerfacial electron transfer in polyelectrolyte-shielded Iso-type black phosphorus hetero-structure boosts oxygen reduction kinetics

Searching new structured black phosphorus(BP)and exploring intriguing functions and applications have become a hot topic so far.Here,we introduce a novel Iso-type black phosphorus heterostructure guided by first principle calculation,which features unique heterointerface and electronic coupling interaction via stacking assembly of exfoliated black phosphorus(EBP)and amine-functionalized EBP(N-EBP).Inspired by the theoretical results,we constructed the Iso-type heterostructure comprising of ultrathin exfoliated few-layered EBP and N-EBP,both of which were derived from identical bulk BP.The purposive amine-functionalization not only creates positively-charged P atoms on N-EBP as effective active sites via N-induced intramolecular electron transfer(IET)but also endows N-EBP with lower work function relative to EBP,while the unique EBP/N-EBP Iso-type heterostructure engenders directional heterointerfacial electron transfer(HET).The coupled IET/HET effects optimize the charge redistribution to afford favorable O_(2)adsorption.In this case,our unique strategy for the first time exploits the inherent catalytic capability of BP toward the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and enables the first use of BP as metal-free ORR catalysts for Zn-air cells.The newly-designed heterostructure facilitates a 4-e^(-)transfer ORR relative to inactive EBP or N-EBP.Importantly,the polymer-shielded heterostructure acts as efficient air electrodes to endow a primary Zn-air cell with high stability,large capacity and high energy density—superior to the commercial Pt/C-enabled cell.This study as the first report on metal-free BP-based ORR catalysts and air electrodes not only extends BP's application scopes but also renders new insight toward design of electronically-coupled superstructures for energy-related applications.

Create Rich Oxygen Defects of Unique Tubular Hierarchical Molybdenum Dioxide to Modulate Electron Transfer Rate for Superior High-Energy Metal-Ion Hybrid Capacitor

Metal-ion capacitors could merit advantages from both batteries and capacitors,but they need to overcome the severe restrictions from their sluggish reaction kinetics of the battery type electrode and low specific capacitance of capacitor type electrode for both high energy and power density.Herein,we use the Kirkendall effect for the first time to synthesize unique tubular hierarchical molybdenum dioxide with encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon sheets while in situ realizing phosphorus-doping to create rich oxygen vacancies(P-MoO_(2-x)@NP-C)as a sodium-ion electrode.Experimental and theoretical analysis confirm that the P-doping introduced oxygen defects can partially convert the high-bond-energy Mo–O to low-bond-energy Mo–P,resulting in a low oxidation state of molybdenum for enhanced surface reactivity and rapid reaction kinetics.The as-prepared P-MoO_(2-x)@NP-C as an ion-battery electrode is further used to pair active N-doped carbon nanosheet(N-C-A)electrode for Na-ion hybrid capacitor,delivering excellent performance with an energy density of 140.3 Wh kg^(−1),a power density of 188.5 W kg^(−1)and long stable life in non-aqueous solution,which ranks the best among all reported MoO x-based hybrid capacitors.P-MoO_(2-x)@NP-C is also used to fabricate a zinc-ion hybrid capacitor,also accomplishing a remarkable energy density of 43.8 Wh kg^(−1),a power density of 93.9 W kg^(−1),and a long stable life@2A g^(−1)of 32000 cycles in aqueous solutions,solidly verifying its universal significance.This work not only demonstrates an innovative approach to synthesize high-performance metal ion hybrid capacitor materials but also reveals certain scientific insights into electron transfer enhancement mechanisms.

Preparation of phosphorus-doped carbon nanospheres and their electrocatalytic performance for O_2 reduction

Phosphorus-doped carbon nanospheres without any metal residues were synthesized and characterized. The results revealed that the doping phosphorus atoms could significantly improve the electrocatalytic activity of graphitic carbon for the oxygen-reduction reaction （ORR） both in acidic and alkaline media, and the materials exhibited high electrocatalytic activity, long-term stability, and excellent tolerance to crossover effects especially in alkaline media. Quantum mechanics calculations with the density functional theory demonstrated that the changes in charge density and energetic characteristics of frontier orbitals for the P-doped graphene sheet could facilitate the ORR.

Characterization of phosphorus removal bacteria in （AO）^2 SBR system by using different electron acceptors

Characteristics of phosphorus removal bacteria were investigated by using three different types of electron acceptors, as well as the positive role of nitrite in phosphorus removal process. An （AO）^2 SBR （anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic-aerobic sequencing batch reactor） was thereby employed to enrich denitrifying phosphorus removal bacteria for simultaneously removing phosphorus and nitrogen via auoxic phosphorus uptake, Ammonium oxidation was controlled at the first phase of the nitrification process. Nitrite-inhibition batch tests illustrated that nitrite was not an inhibitor to phosphorus uptake process, but served as an alternative electron acceptor to nitrate and oxygen if the concentration was under the inhibition level of 40mg NO2 - N·L^- 1. It implied that in addition to the two well-accepted groups of phosphorus removal bacterium （ one can only utilize oxygen as electron acceptor, P1, while the other can use both oxygen and nitrate as electron acceptor, P2 ）, a new group of phosphorus removal bacterium P3, which could use oxygen, nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptor to take up phosphorus were identified in the test system. To understand （AO）^2 SBR sludge better, the relative population of the different bacteria in this system, plus another A/O SBR sludge （ seed sludge） were respectively estimated by the phosphorus uptake batch tests with either oxygen or nitrate or nitrite as electron acceptor. The results demonstrated that phosphorus removal capability of （AO）^2 SBR sludge had a little degradation after A/O sludge was cultivated in the （AO）^2 mode over a long period of time. However, deuitrifying phosphorus removal bacteria （ P2 and P3 ） was significantly enriched showed by the relative population of the three types of bacteria, which implied that energy for aeration and COD consumption could be reduced in theory.

Swedish Experience and Excellence in Wastewater Treatment Demonstrated Especially in Phosphorus Removal

Water quality protection in Sweden has a more than 80-year history. The needed knowledge has by large been imported. Now, to some extent the development of phosphorus removal technology may be Swedish contribution to advanced knowledge. This paper presents the development in Sweden, mainly a close to 50-year period. Starting in the late 1960s, a standard of <0.5 mg P/l was the normally raised effluent criteria, regardless of the magnitude of the discharge flow. The successive sharpening of the discharge levels has today resulted in a level of 0.2 to 0.3 mg P/l typically. As a matter of fact, even levels of 0.1 to 0.15 mg P/l have been discussed. The period should a large extent demonstrated both improved technologies and a far better efficiency with respect to the use of chemicals and energy. Some important points in this development may be the understanding of the Oxygen Consumption Potential, as well as the identified needs for an improved nitrogen removal. Lately the problems of complex pollution agents and predominantly the remains of pharmaceutical agents have been identified. To illustrate the development during the 50-year period, two examples are presented from the Swedish context. The main conclusion in this paper is that the Swedish history on phosphorus removal illustrates how empirical science in practice sometimes works, including a never-ending need for an open mind and a readiness to take revised and improved knowledge on board.

Effect of Waterscape Structures on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal Efficiency in Revetment Wetland System

The effect of aeration and waterscape structures reaeration system on nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in revetment wetlands was studied by laboratory simulation. The results showed that the removal efficiency of TN, TP in tranquil flow waterscape was 61% and 72%; aeration and waterscape structure system promoted nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in revetment wetland through increasing the DO content in the water, compared with system without artificial oxygen, the removal efficiency of TP in waterscape structures increased by 11. 6%-19. 1%, and that of TN increased by 10.5%-16. 1%; meanwhile, disturbance brought by the waterscape structure systems enhanced the adsorption of TP and flocculation effect; in addition, nitrification was confirmed as the main control step of TN removal in revetment wetland system.

Co_(3)O_(4)/stainless steel catalyst with synergistic effect of oxygen vacancies and phosphorus doping for overall water splitting

The electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen provides an effective means of storing electrical energy indirectly.The current challenge is to design an optimal catalyst that exhibits low overpotentials,long-term stability,universal availability,and only uses inexpensive materials.Herein,a Co3O4nanoflower/stainless steel(P-Ov-CO_(3)O_(4)/SS) catalyst with both oxygen vacancies(Ovs) and phosphorus doping was perfectly prepared via a simple three-step method.The Ovs promoted charge transfer and accelerated the electrocatalysis,while P finely tuned the surface charge state.This resulted in numerous active sites for catalysis,and the synergistic effect of phosphorus doping and oxygen vacancies was finely demonstrated.The resultant electrocatalyst exhibited low hydrogen evolution overpotentials of 118 mV(-10 mA·cm^(-2)) and 242(-200 mA·cm^(-2)),as well as oxygen evolution overpotentials of 327 mV(100 mA·cm^(-2)) and 370 mV(200 mA·cm^(-2)),owing to the excellent synergistic effect of the Ovs and low-temperature phosphating.Moreover,P-Ov-Co_(3)O_(4)/SS//P-Ov-Co_(3)O_(4)/SS exhibited a low water splitting voltage of 1.681 V at 20 mA.cm-2.These findings will enable the synthesis of novel high-performance electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Cobalt-iron oxide/black phosphorus nanosheet heterostructure:Electrosynthesis and performance of(photo-)electrocatalytic oxygen evolution

Highly active,stable,and cut-price(photo-)electrocatalysts are desired to overwhelm high energy barriers for anodic oxygen evolution reaction processes.Herein,a heterostructure of cobalt-iron oxide/black phosphorus nanosheets is in-situ synthesized via a facile and novel three-electrode electrolysis method.Bulky black phosphorus is exfoliated into its nanosheets at the cathode while the CoFe oxide is derived directly from the metal wire anode during the electrolysis process.This heterostructure exhibits excellent electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance,and the overpotential at 10 mA·cm^(−2)is 51 mV lower than that of the commercial RuO_(2)catalyst.Its superior OER performance stems from the favorable adsorption behavior and an enlarged electrochemical active surface area of the catalyst.To reveal the origin of excellent OER performance from the point of adsorption strength of OH*,methanol oxidation reaction(MOR)test is applied under the identified OER operating conditions.Further introduction of light illumination enhances the OER activity of this heterostructure.The overpotential drops down to 280 mV,benefiting from pronounced photochemical response of black phosphorus nanosheets and iron oxide inside the heterostructure.This work develops a new electrochemical method to construct high performance and light-sensitive heterostructures from black phosphorus nanosheets for the OER.

Nitrogen doped porous carbon-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with controllable phosphorus content for zinc-air battery

The controllable construction of non-noble metal based bifunctional catalysts with high activities towards oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is of great significance,but remains a challenge.Herein,we reported an effective method to synthesize cobalt-nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with controllable phosphorus content(Co-N-P_(X)-MC,X=0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0).The mesoporous carbon substrate endowed the asprepared samples with more exposed active surface(236.50 m^(2)·g^(−1))and the most appropriate doping ratio of phosphorus had been investigated to be 1.5(Co-N-P1.5-MC).For ORR,Co-N-P1.5-MC exhibited excellent catalytic activity with more positive onset potential(1.01 V)and half-wave potential(0.84 V)than the other samples.For OER,Co-N-P1.5-MC also showed a low overpotential of 415 mV.Combining experimental results and density-functional theory(DFT)calculations,the outstanding bifunctional catalytic performance of Co-N-P1.5-MC was due to the synergistic cooperation between the P and N dopants,which could reduce the reaction barriers and was favorable for ORR and OER.Moreover,the Zn-air battery using Co-N-P1.5-MC as the cathode showed remarkable battery performance with high stability(could operate stably for over 160 h at 10 mA·cm^(−2))and maximum power density(119 mW·cm^(−2)),demonstrating its potential for practical applications.This work could provide significant enlightenment towards the design and construction of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst for next-generation electrochemical devices.

Tailoring the electronic acceptor–donor heterointerface between black phosphorus and Co_(3)O_(4) for boosting oxygen bifunctional electrocatalysis

Black phosphorus (BP) as an uprising two-dimensional material exhibits attractive potential in the field of electrocatalysis due to the inherent advantages of high carrier mobility and abundant lone pair electrons.However,the exposed active electrons compel BP to be deactivated by oxidative degradation.Herein,the electronic signature of acceptor-donor heterointerfacial interactions between BP and Co_(3)O_(4)is realized via wet ball milling.The preferential migration of active electrons from BP to Co_(3)O_(4)is achieved at the heterointerface since the Fermi level of BP is higher than that of Co_(3)O_(4).Such relative energetic consideration promotes reasonable oxygen electrocatalytic active sites.Moreover,it significantly suppresses the oxidative degradation of BP.Consequently,the resulting Co_(3)O_(4)/BP heterojunction possesses superior oxygen bifunctional electrocatalytic activity than its parent catalysts.Most importantly,this work promotes an efficient route towards BP-based multifunctional catalysts.

Introducing Covalent Metal-Phosphorus Bonds into Intermetallic Platinum-Based Catalysts for High-Performance Fuel Cells

The inadequate performance of oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)catalysts hampers the development of proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs).Herein,we proposed an approach to tackle this problem by modulating the chemical bond type of intermetallic Pt-based catalysts,using phosphorus(P)doped L1_(0)-PtFeGa_(0.1)/C(P-L1_(0)-PtFeGa_(0.1)/C)as a proof of concept.X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS)demonstrated that the doped P transferred electrons to Pt,and thus,modified the electronic structure of Pt,weakening the adsorption strength with oxygen-containing species.Therefore P-L1_(0)-PtFeGa_(0.1)/C showed 13 times mass activity(MA)compared with commercial Pt/C,with a decay of only 28%after 100,000 potential cycles.When equipped in the membrane electrode assembly,the P-L1_(0)-PtFeGa_(0.1)/C catalyst also exhibited a remarkable activity(MA=0.84 A mgPt^(−1)at 0.9 V)and stability(MA retention=72%and voltage loss=9 mVat 0.8 A cm^(−2)after 30,000 cycles),making it one of the best performers among recorded Pt-based catalysts.Theoretical studies demonstrated that the doping of P optimized the adsorption energy between Pt and oxygen intermediates through sp-d orbital interactions and prevented metal dissolution by forming stronger Pt-P covalent bonds compared with Pt–Pt bonds.

Sulfur-encapsulated in heteroatom-doped hierarchical porous carbon derived from goat hair for high performance lithium–sulfur batteries

Biomass-derived carbon materials have aroused widespread concern as host material of sulfur to enhance electrochemical performances for lithium–sulfur batteries. Herein, goat hair, as a low-cost and eco-friendly precursor, is employed to fabricate cauliflower-like in-situ nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus tri-doped porous biomass carbon(NOPC) by a facile activation with H_3PO_4 and carbonization process.The morphology and microstructure of NOPC can be readily tuned by altering pyrolysis temperature. The as-prepared NOPC matrix material carbonized at 600 °C possesses 3D hierarchical porous structure, high specific surface area(535.352 m^2 g^(-1)), and appropriate pore size and pore size distribution. Encapsulating sulfur into the NOPC depends on a stem-melting technology as cathode materials of Li–S batteries. Due to the synergistic effect of special physical structure and inherent tri-doping of N, O and P, electrons and ions transfer and utilization of active sulfur in the materials are improved, and the shuttle behaviors of soluble lithium polysulfides are also mitigated. Consequently, the S/NOPC-600 composite exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, giving a high initial discharge capacity of 1185 mA h g^(-1) at 0.05 C and maintaining a relatively considerable capacity of 489 m A h g^(-1) at 0.2 C after 300 cycles. Our work shows that a promising candidate for cathode material of Li–S batteries can be synthesized using low-cost and renewable biomass materials by a facile process.

Nitrogen-,phosphorus-doped carbon-carbon nanotube CoP dodecahedra by controlling zinc content for high-performance electrocatalytic oxygen evolution

Here,N-and P-doped carbon-carbon nanotube CoP(NPC-CNTs-CoP)nanoparticles dodecahedra are achieved by multistep calcination of the Zn-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-67 precursor(ZnCo-ZIF).In the structures,the presence of N and P atoms,abundant CNTs and the CoP nanoparticles can enhance electrochemical activity and promote the structural stability of materials.As the temperature increases,the Zn contents gradually reduce to zero,which provides more active sites for electrochemical testing.Furthermore,the high specific surface area and microporous behavior of NPC-CNTsCoP-9 make it excellent in electrocatalytic testing.NPCCNTs-CoP-9 shows a low overpotential of 224 mV at10 mA·cm^-2 in 1.0 mol·L^-1 KOH solution.The strategy of zeolitic imidazole framework-derived transition metal phosphides will provide a new sight for developing energy conversion materials.

Phosphorus-doping and oxygen vacancy endowing anatase TiO_(2) with excellent sodium storage performance

Titanium dioxide is considered to be promising anode for sodium-ion batteries due to stable structure during the charge/discharge process.However,its practical application is hindered by the slow electron/ion transport.Herein,phosphorus-doped anatase TiO_(2) nanoparticles with oxygen vacancies are successfully synthesized and utilized as high-performance sodium-storage materials.The dual strategy of phosphorus-doping and oxygen vacancies can concurrently boost electronic conductivity and adjust ion diffusion kinetics.They significantly contribute to the improved rate performance(167 mAh·g^(-1) at 20.0C)and stable cycling(95.9%after 2000 cycles at 20.0C).The proposed dual strategy can be potentially used to improve other oxide anodes for rechargeable batteries.

Phosphorus transformation under the influence of aluminum,organic carbon,and dissolved oxygen at the water-sediment interface:A simulative study

The effects of sediment aluminum(Al),organic carbon(OC),and dissolved oxygen(DO)on phosphorus(P)transformation,at the water-sediment interface of a eutrophic constructed lake,were investigated via a series of simulative experiments.The above three factors had various influences on dissolved P concentration,water pH,water and surface sediment appearance,and P fractions.Additions of Al had the greatest effect on suppressing P release,and the water p H remained alkaline in the water-sediment system under various OC and DO conditions.No dissolution of the added Al was detected.31P-N M R characterization suggested that OC addition did not promote biological P uptake to polyphosphates under oxic conditions.The simulation result on the added phytate indicated the absence of phytate in the original lake sediment.As compared to the reported natural lakes and wetland,the water-sediment system of the constructed lake responded differently to some simulative conditions.Since Al,OC,and DO can be controlled with engineering methods,the results of this study provide insights for the practical site restorations.

Research on polyhydroxyalkanoates and glycogen transformations: Key aspects to biologic nitrogen and phosphorus removal in low dissolved oxygen systems

In this paper,a study was conducted on the effect of polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHA)and glycogen transformations on biologic nitrogen and phosphorus removal in low dissolved oxygen(DO)systems.Two laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors(SBR1 and SBR2)were operating with anaerobic/aerobic(low DO,0.15-0.45 mg·L^(-1))configurations,which cultured a propionic to acetic acid ratio(molar carbon ratio)of 1.0 and 2.0,respectively.Fewer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate(PHB),total PHA,and glycogen transformations were observed with the increase of propionic/acetic acid,along with more poly-3-hydroxyvalerate(PHV)and poly-3-hydroxy-2-methyvalerate(PH2MV)shifts.The total nitrogen(TN)removal efficiency was 68%and 82%in SBR1 and SBR2,respectively.In the two SBRs,the soluble ortho-phosphate(SOP)removal efficiency was 94%and 99%,and the average sludge polyphosphate(poly-P)content(g·g-MLVSS^(-1))was 8.3%and 10.2%,respectively.Thus,the propionic to acetic acid ratio of the influent greatly influenced the PHA form and quantity,glycogen transformation,and poly-P contained in activated sludge and further determined TN and SOP removal efficiency.Moreover,significant correlations between the SOP removal rate and the(PHV+PH2MV)/PHA ratio were observed(R^(2)>0.99).Accordingly,PHA and glycogen transformations should be taken into account as key components for optimizing anaerobic/aerobic(low DO)biologic nitrogen and phosphorus removal systems.

Spatiotemporal Variation of Riverine Nutrients in a Typical Hilly Watershed in Southeast China Using Multivariate Statistics Tools

The water quality of lakes can be degraded by excessive riverine nutrients.Riverine water quality generally varies depending on region and season because of the spatiotemporal variations in natural factors and anthropogenic activities.Monthly water quality measurements of eight water quality variables were analyzed for two years at 16 sites of the Tianmuhu watershed.The variables were examined using hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA) and factor analysis/principal component analysis(FA/PCA) to reveal the spatiotemporal variations in riverine nutrients and to identify their potential sources.HCA revealed three geographical groups and three periods.Two drainages comprising towns and large villages were the most polluted, six drainages comprising widely distributed tea plantations and orchards were moderately polluted, and eight drainages without the factors were the least polluted.The river was most polluted in June when the first heavy rain(daily rainfall > 50 mm) occurs after fertilization and the number of rainy days is most(monthly number of rainy days > 20 days).Moderate pollution was observed from October to May, during which morethan 60% of the total nitrogen fertilizer and all of the phosphorus fertilizer are applied to the cropland, the total manure is applied to tea plantations and orchards, and a monthly rainfall ranging from 0 mm to 164 mm occurs.The remaining months were characterized by frequent raining(i.e., number of rainy days per month ranged from 5 to 24) and little use of fertilizers, and were thus least polluted.FA/PCA identified that the greatest pollution sources were the runoff from tea plantations and orchards,domestic pollution and the surface runoff from towns and villages, and rural sewage, which had extremely high contributions of riverine nitrogen, phosphorus,and chemical oxygen demand, respectively.The tea plantations and orchards promoted by the agricultural comprehensive development(ACD) were not environmentally friendly.Riverine nitrogen is a major water pollution parameter in hilly watersheds affected by ACD, and this parameter would not be reduced unless its loss load through the runoff from tea plantations and orchards is effectively controlled.

Removal kinetics of phosphorus from synthetic wastewater using basic oxygen furnace slag

Removal kinetics of phosphorus through use of basic oxygen furnace slag（BOF-slag）was investigated through batch experiments. Effects of several parameters such as initial phosphorus concentration, temperature, BOF-slag size, initial p H, and BOF-slag dosage on phosphorus removal kinetics were measured in detail. It was demonstrated that the removal process of phosphorus through BOF-slag followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The apparent rate constant（kobs） significantly decreased with increasing initial phosphorus concentration, BOF-slag size, and initial p H, whereas it exhibited an opposite trend with increasing reaction temperature and BOF-slag dosage.A linear dependence of kobson total removed phosphorus（TRP） was established with kobs=（3.51 ± 0.11） × 10^-4× TRP. Finally, it was suggested that the Langmuir–Rideal（L–R）or Langmuir–Hinshelwood（L–H） mechanism may be used to describe the removal process of phosphorus using BOF-slag.
