1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The continuous accumulation of solid industry waste, such as phosphogypsum, has emerged as a global environmental hazard and a significant obstacle to achieving a green and sustainable industry. To convert this industry waste to reusable resources, the development and implementation of simple and cost-efficient purification techniques is crucial. A sedimentation-based separation approach was developed to achieve this objective. Through a sedimentation process, a suspension of phosphogypsum particles is transformed into three distinct phases: a supernatant liquid, a concentrated slurry, and a solid precipitate. These phases primarily consist of soluble salts, a mixture of oxides and organic matter, and calcium phosphate dihydrates mixed with calcium phosphate, respectively. Through a sedimentation process, calcium sulfate dihydrate concentration can be significantly enhanced from 87.45 to 91.60% and further improved to 95.72% by repeating the sedimentation process three times. The various components obtained from this process can be effectively reused as mineral resources, soil amendment, and industry gypsum. The sedimentation process is expounded upon using both the classical mechanics model and Stokes' law. To foster a seamless industrial application, we have also designed a continuous settling skittle and a trail setup for industrial treatment of phosphogpysum. This innovative technique holds immense promise for its broader application, especially within but not limited to the phosphoric acid industry.
