phosphorus is gnarly stuff tho, ngl

if you ever want to mess with it (be careful) you can manufacture it by collecting and dehydrating pee, which has a lot of phosphoric acid in it, to refine it you need to exclude oxygen, and at different temperatures it goes from white to red to black and has different properties

i can't think off the top of my head what uses it has other than making phosphoric acid, which is good for dissolving iron oxide, and red phosphorus which is good for making safety matches

most industrial production starts from mineral deposits of phosphate so when i say it can catch fire, i mean, really, in your simple calcining setup it's unlikely to be bad unless it vents into an unventilated space
