Phosphorus slag and ferrophosphorus are by-products of the production of elemental phosphorus. Phosphorus slag has applications similar to those of PG, but more than 80% of phosphorus slag is stored near the factory instead of being recycled (Chen et al., 2010). At present, the recycling of phosphorus slag appears not to have been considered for its element recovery potential. Ferrophosphorus, containing roughly 75% Fe and 25% P, is usually sold as an additive to the steel industry after being crushed and screened (USEPA, 2012).

The first official documentation of capillary pressure being used as a passive driving force was conceived by Gaugler, on behalf of the General Motors Corporation.2 To provide the capillary structure, Gaugler proposed that a proper mixture of iron and ferrophosphorus powder be placed along the inner side of the tube. During the 1940s and 1950s, not much attention was given to capillary-driven passive cooling mechanisms since the technology did not require sophisticated heat transfer devices.
