    Abstract: Electrochemical systems and methods for removing and recovering phosphorus, in the form of phosphates, from aqueous solutions are provided. The removal of the phosphates takes place in an electrochemical cell having an electrode that includes bismuth (Bi), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), or an oxide thereof. During the removal of phosphates from aqueous solution, the metal (Bi, Zn, Cu, or Fe) and/or metal oxide of the electrode is converted into its corresponding metal phosphate within the electrode via a reversible conversion reaction. The phosphate stored in the electrode during the removal step is subsequently released into a recovery solution via electrochemical reduction of the metal phosphate back into a metal.

    Abstract: A method for separating elemental phosphorus from iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing materials includes at least the following steps: providing at least one iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing material, adding at least one aluminum carrier to the at least one iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing material and melting the at least one aluminum carrier together with the at least one iron oxide-containing and phosphate-containing material to form an aluminum-containing and optionally aluminum oxide-containing phosphate slag melt, reacting the aluminum-containing and optionally aluminum oxide-containing phosphate slag melt to elemental, gaseous phosphorus, iron and Al2O3-containing slag in a melting vessel, withdrawing the elemental, gaseous phosphorus and tapping off the iron and the Al2O3-containing slag.

    Abstract: Included are an oxidation electrode that is formed in a film state on a transparent substrate and receives light from the outside, an oxidation bath that holds an electrolytic solution in which the oxidation electrode is immersed, a reduction electrode, a reduction bath that holds the electrolytic solution, in which the reduction electrode is immersed and which is subjected to bubbling with carbon dioxide from the outside, an electrolyte membrane that is disposed between the oxidation bath and the reduction bath and divides the electrolytic solution into an oxidation side and a reduction side, and a thermoelectric element including a heat absorbing plate that faces the transparent substrate, receives light transmitted through the transparent substrate, and converts the light into heat, including a heat radiation plate that faces the heat absorbing plate and radiates the heat of the heat absorbing plate, including thermoelectric materials interposed between the heat absorbing plate and the heat radiation plate.
