Assessment of strongly acidic cation exchange resins for cadmium removal from wet phosphoric acid.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 presence of cadmium (Cd) in wet phosphoric acid (WPA), a key intermediate in fertilizer production, poses a significant environmental and health risk due to the potential release of hazardous impurities throughout the fertilizer value chain. As global fertilizer demand intensifies, reducing Cd emissions has become a priority for sustainable production with regulatory compliance. This study evaluates the efficiency of sulfonic acid functionalized resins for the selective removal of Cd(II) ions from industrial WPA, aiming to support cleaner production practices and reduce the environmental footprint of the fertilizer industry. A series of batch experiments was conducted to assess the selectivity, capacity, and operational feasibility of selected cation exchangers under conditions representative of industrial operations. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model, with maximum monolayer capacities of 123.0 mg/g for K1131 S and 173.5 mg/g for K1461. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed that the process is spontaneous and endothermic, while surface characterization (SEM-EDX, XPS, FTIR-ATR) supported the proposed adsorption mechanisms. The results demonstrate that targeted Cd removal at the WPA purification stage significantly reduces the Cd load in downstream fertilizer products and minimizes the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. Overall, the findings indicate that ion exchange processes provide an effective strategy for improving WPA quality, thereby enabling the production of P-fertilizers that meet environmental and quality requirements.
