Peak phosphorus chemists warn
arrival of the world will further trigger a global food crisis
Recently, five major scientific organizations jointly issued a warning: the global phosphate production peaked and will gradually decline in the latter part of this century, which will lead to shortages and rising prices of phosphate fertilizer, and will further threaten global food production. The food crisis will be over 9 billion people in the world when the outbreak. (Food, ah, food. Ah 1.8 billion, 18 billion.)
The comments are the Chinese Chemical Society, the German Chemical Society, Chemical Society of Japan, Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society in a 4-day summit proposed. From 30 international experts in the field of materials science attended the summit. The summit was organized by the five series of summit Chemical Society,
christian louboutin discount, one objective is to seek the most challenging response to the global solution to the problem.
Summit also issued a report entitled soared.
These natural resources include rare earth, precious metals such as lithium, platinum, palladium, and they are making computers, mobile phones, rechargeable batteries,
christian louboutin, solar cells, fuel cells, pharmaceutical, automotive pollution control equipment and other products necessary raw materials.
shortage and high prices will soon affect many industrial sectors. (Ridiculous, fool who does)
2001 Nobel Chemistry Prize winner, Professor Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University in Japan in the preface to the report called: Governments and social patterns in the spread, and hope to work together to build an ideal world, sustainable development of the international community.
Phosphorus and nitrogen, potassium, is to maintain rice, corn,
louboutin sale, wheat and other cereal plant growth necessary for one of the 3 kinds of fertilizers. Currently,
christian louboutin pumps sale, the lack of phosphorus in the soil ranked seventh in the world wheat producing countries, Australia has been very prominent. In sub-Saharan Africa, the lack of phosphorus limits the growth of corn, millions of people are faced with malnutrition and periodic famines.
Global 2 / 3 of the phosphate resource distribution in China, Morocco and other regions. Phosphate ore for the production of fertilizer may be in the next 30 years to 100 years, exhausted, but instead of mankind has not found phosphate in natural resources. With the surge in demand for phosphorus in recent years,
louboutin sales, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (also containing nitrogen) fertilizer prices doubled.
Thus, the report called for scientists to seek technological breakthroughs in order to ensure the future supply of phosphorus. But the report also conveys an optimistic attitude, I believe that chemists through the development of new materials,
Christian Louboutin Short Boots, from the rivers, oceans, the composition of the soil in search of a large number of new sources of phosphorus; humans through the development of new chemical techniques to extract from the water phosphorus.
The report also noted that a number of other modern technology, computers and hybrid cars, such as the shortage of resources will also be required to appear, unless the man to pay the same effort to find alternatives, or the extraction of existing resources and improve efficiency. Such as lithium batteries and certain drugs is one of the ingredients; Another example is the platinum can be used as a catalyst for large-scale chemical production, but also used in fuel cells; rare earth elements in the production of computers, hybrid vehicles, weapons and other high-tech necessary product components.
Chairman of Royal Society of Chemistry David Philips, said: . This report reminds people resources are limited, and some are already there was a shortage of resources, but the report also conveyed a positive message - chemists have the ability to provide sustainable community development approach.
