Biodegradable sorbent that captures nutrients in water. Phosphorus and nitrogen are nutrients in water that act as fertilizers for aquatic plants. Eutrophication occurs when there is an overabundance of these nutrients. Nutrient pollution occurs when eutrophication produces an excessive amount of algae. These algae disrupt ecosystems by lowering the amount of dissolved oxygen in water, reducing water quality, turning the water green, causing a foul smell, blocking sunlight, and harming animals and humans who consume it. PhosRox™ is a biodegradable sorbent that captures ammonium, phosphate, and nitrate in contaminated water. PhosRox simultaneously captures the nutrients and slowly releases them over time, making them a great slow-release fertilizer.
