Electrospun sodium titanate speeds up the purification of nuclear waste water
Electrospun sodium titanate speeds up the purification of water based on selective ion exchange – effectively extracts radio-active strontium
With the help of this new method, waste water can be treated faster than before, and the environmentally positive aspect is that the process leaves less solid radio-active waste.
The properties of electrospun sodium titanate are equal to those of commercially produced ion-exchange materials.
“The advantages of electrospun materials are due to the kinetics, i.e. reaction speed, of ion exchange,” says Risto Koivula, a scientist in the research group Ion Exchange for Nuclear Waste Treatment and for Recycling at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Helsinki.

hello!
I haven’t posted here in a couple of years now. a lot of things have changed! I’m logging on now to ask for your help, if you’re willing to hear me out.
I was recently accepted to one of the top research universities in the world (U of Helsinki) to continue my studies as a graduate student. as a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I never imagined this could happen. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get here, including grinding in a full-time job though undergrad, but now I’ve found that I cannot afford tuition. please consider sharing and donating if you can! support your local queer latina!
