Summary: The study investigated the recovery of phosphate as struvite from dairy lagoon wastewater, demonstrating that increasing magnesium concentration can reduce thermal losses of NH4-N and decrease the sorption of micronutrients in the recovered solids. This suggests that lower magnesium concentrations during phosphate recovery can be beneficial for increasing micronutrient content and reducing NH4-N thermal losses in the produced struvite fertilizer.

Application of two morphologies of Mn2O3 for efficient catalytic ortho-methylation of 4-chlorophenol

Wenying Gui et al.

Summary: In this study, vapor phase ortho-methylation of 4-chlorophenol with methanol was investigated over Mn2O3 catalyst with two morphologies, nanoparticles and nanowires. It was found that Mn2O3 nanowires possess larger external surface areas and more abundant acid and base sites. Methanol was shown to reduce 4-chlorophenol and its methide, with Mn3+ being reduced to Mn2+ under the reaction conditions. The mechanism of the dechlorination effect of 4-chlorophenol was proposed, similar to the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-type (MPV) reaction.
