In this account, a one-step green hydrothermal method for zirconium-loaded reduced graphene oxide (RGO-Zr) adsorbent was developed in pure water. It is based on the formation of initially strong-coupling RGO-Zr nanocomposites followed by in situ reduction of GO to RGO during the hydrothermal treatment. The phosphate adsorption performance of the as-prepared nanocomposites was investigated in aq...

Currently, in many centres, intravenous administration of iron is becoming increasingly popular because of higher efficacy and decreased side effects, mainly gastrointestinal, compared with oral iron therapy. Studies of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose administration in the postpartum setting and in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease revealed a decrease in serum phosph...

Phosphate and sulfate are essential macro-elements for plant growth and development, and deficiencies in these mineral elements alter many metabolic functions. Nutritional constraints are not restricted to macro-elements. Essential metals such as zinc and iron have their homeostasis strictly genetically controlled, and deficiency or excess of these micro-elements can generate major physiologica...

SBR759 is a novel polynuclear iron(III) oxide-hydroxide starch·sucrose·carbonate complex being developed for oral use in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with hyperphosphatemia on hemodialysis. SBR759 binds inorganic phosphate released by food uptake and digestion in the gastro-intestinal tract increasing the fecal excretion of phosphate with concomitant reduction of serum phosphate concen...

Rats fed a corn grit diet containing large amounts of ferric citrate absorb and deposit excessive amounts of iron in their livers. Undoubtedly various factors are involved in iron absorption, but these studies indicate that the low level of dietary phosphate was primarily responsible. The addition of phosphate salts to this diet has shown that the amount of iron deposited in the liver was inver...

In the present study, simultaneous gross immobilization of radioactive Cs and Sr in zirconium phosphate was investigated by two methods. “dry method,” a mixture HZr2(PO4)3 with varying amounts CsNO3 Sr(NO3)2 heat-treated at 700 °C for 5 h to prepare + immobilized samples. At 0.3 0.15, leaching 1 mol·dm−3 HCl solution treated 160 24 were 2.9 × 10−4 g·m−2 3.9 g·m−2, respectively. “autoclave aqueo...
