Molten salt electrochemical synthesis could improve sustainability of white phosphorus production

By Guest Contributor / April 18, 2023

White phosphorus is a synthetic form of phosphorus used to produce many commodity chemicals. But the conventional process for producing white phosphorus has a high carbon footprint. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a molten salt synthesis process for white phosphorus production that is more cost effective and environmentally friendly.
