Chinese scientists say they have found a way to efficiently extract uranium – the heavy metal used to fuel nuclear reactors – from seawater using electricity.

The team from Northeast Normal University in Changchun, Jilin province developed an electrode to capture the uranium through electrochemical reactions. They say this is at least three times faster than existing methods, and is effective at shielding against impurities in the seawater – meaning it could be suitable for large-scale applications.

The researchers, led by Associate Professor Zhao Rui and Professor Zhu Guangshan, published the results of their groundbreaking study in the peer-reviewed journal ACS Central Science on December 13.

China is building more nuclear power plants than any other country, but the country’s uranium ore is low grade so it relies on imports to fuel its reactors. The ability to extract uranium from seawater could be a game changer for China’s – and the world’s – energy structure, and progress on the technology is closely watched by policymakers and the nuclear industry.

When it comes to research Chinese are always talking trash, for low mentality nations to persive then superior

Can Tinubu take us to that level?


Like if u say "yes"


Share if u say "no"

Ofé mmanu owamberians will not like to channel their energy to productivity, rather they chose hypocrisy.

Immitating a lot

I just hope they do not end up polluting the ocean, just like the Japs are doing...and the sea life is turning up dead fishes. And if the ocean dies, all life will die on the earth eventually.
