Dew for Phosphorite! I wonder what he's listening to...

this might be a long shot but does anyone know the author of wind waves by phosphorite?? the fic is locked on AO3 and it’s literally one of my favorite pieces ever and I want to reach out and ask for a copy 🥺🥺

Insight of Phosphorus Pentoxide and its Applications

Phosphorus Pentoxide is used as a strong drying and dehydrating agent such as the dehydration of amides to nitriles. It is also used to manufacture optical glass, heat-insulating glass, pesticides and in the pharmaceutical industry.

It is a chemical compound with formula P2O5. As we know the white crystalline solid is the an anhydride of phosphoric acid. It is a powerful desiccant. This is a white, flammable, dangerous, and extremely deliquescent solid. While the solid reacts with water very violently to produce the phosphoric acid. It has been prepared by various phosphorus reactions with excess oxygen. The crude is then purified by sublimation. As we know that phosphorus pentoxide is very much stable, but reacts violently with water, alcohol, metals, sodium, potassium, ammonia, oxidizing agents, HF, peroxides, magnesium, and very much stronger bases.

Uses of phosphorus pentoxide — Phosphorus pentoxide is usual material and reagent in chemical industry, this product is widely used in the industries of medicine, coating auxiliaries, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, anti static additive, titanate coupling agent, phosphorus oxychloride

It is very much used as a strong dehydrating agent, which is very much capable even of dehydrating concentrated sulphuric acid into sulphur trioxide.

It dehydrates amides to nitriles.

In manufacturing of phosphorus compounds.

Used in purifying sugar.

Optical glass making.

Heat-insulating glass.

It is very much used as a drying agent for materials with which it does not react

Medicine, pesticide and surfactant manufacturing.

Phosphorus along with calcium is an essential element in plant and animal growth, thus its principal source is organic ash (i.e. calcined cattle bones).

Phosphoric oxide is normally present in only trace amounts in ceramic materials.

It can act as a melter in middle to high fire, but its power-per-unit-added drops drastically beyond 5% additions.

Small amounts can produce colloidal opacity as in Chinese chun glazes. The depth of Sung glazes is attributed to phosphorus.

P2O5 is a glass network former like boric oxide and silicon dioxide. Phosphoric glass tends to show as a bluish flush in glazes. It does not enter the silica chain in the matrix. However, P2O5 by itself (with no SiO2 present in the matrix) is a glass former and the base of an entire class of glasses that can be doped with rare earths and metals for produce special purposes ranging from soluble medical implants to insoluble acid-resistance and even radiation resistance.

Phosphorus can vitrify porcelains without softening and is the key to translucency in bone china.

Phosphate ions are added to glaze frits as a color control agent during the melting of titania opacified frits.

P2O5 itself can crystallize in multiple forms. It is known to influence the rate of nucleation and/or crystallization in Li2O and MgO low expansion glaze systems.

P2O5 combines with certain oxides of iron forms colorless compounds. This suggests that P2O5 could be used to allow the use of less pure materials in glazes and glass.

Conclsuion-Phosphorite mineral Ca3(PO4)2 and Apatite 3Ca3(PO4)2 Ca(Cl,F)2 are the parent rocks of phosphate fertilizers. The latter can thus be used to introduce phosphorus into glazes and frits.
