en.Wedoany.com Reported - In early June 2026, the "State Key Laboratory of Green and Efficient Development of Phosphorus Ore and Its Associated Resources" (referred to as the "State Key Laboratory of Phosphorus Resources"), located in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China, officially released the 2026 open project application guidelines. The laboratory focuses on three major research directions: source upgrading and enrichment of phosphorus ore, separation, purification, and directed synthesis of phosphorus and associated elements, and phosphorus migration and transformation mechanisms along with collaborative pollution control. It establishes open projects for domestic and international researchers. Funded projects are categorized into three types: I, II, and III, with funding amounts not exceeding 500,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan, and 100,000 yuan respectively, and implementation periods not exceeding two years. The application deadline is June 30, 2026.
This laboratory is a national key laboratory in the field of phosphorus chemical engineering in China, jointly established by backbone enterprises such as Guizhou Phosphate Chemical Group Co., Ltd. and research institutes, dedicated to solving major scientific issues in the green and efficient development and utilization of phosphorus resources. Operating under the mechanism of "openness, mobility, collaboration, and competition," the laboratory encourages interdisciplinary integration and innovation. According to the guidelines, applicants must hold a doctoral degree or an associate professor title (or equivalent technical title) and must collaborate with fixed researchers of the laboratory. Each applicant may apply for only one project, and those with ongoing unfinished projects are not eligible to apply.
The guidelines specify the output requirements for the three project types. Type I projects (approximately 3 to be funded) must produce at least four SCI-indexed papers in CAS Zone 1 or papers in leading journals of the China Science and Technology Excellence Action Plan, including two high-level papers recognized by the laboratory. Type II projects (approximately 10 to be funded) must produce at least three papers in CAS Zone 2 or above, including one high-level paper recognized by the laboratory. Type III projects (approximately 15 to be funded) must produce at least two papers in CAS Zone 2 or above, with at least one in Zone 1. Key support areas include: key technologies and equipment for flotation enrichment of fine-grained collophane, upgrading technology for low- and medium-grade phosphorus ore, resource utilization of phosphorus tailings, preparation of ultra-high-purity electronic-grade phosphates, new phosphorus-based new energy materials, efficient separation of associated fluorine, iodine, and rare earth elements, process improvement and efficiency enhancement of wet-process phosphoric acid, harmless treatment and resource utilization of phosphogypsum, and management of phosphorus migration in soil-water systems. Priority support is given to research with industrialization prospects.
When publishing research results, the laboratory must be listed as the first or corresponding affiliation, with the Chinese name "磷矿及其共伴生资源绿色高效开发利用全国重点实验室" and the English name "State Key Laboratory of Green and Efficient Development of Phosphorus Resources." Applicants must fill out the open project application form (preliminary review template), have it stamped by their affiliated institution, and submit two paper copies along with an electronic version to the designated email address (wangshihan@chinagpc.com) before the deadline. The guidelines are subject to interpretation by the laboratory.
