Benefits of technology

This invention relates to an improved method or technique that uses nanoporous materials with specific structures to efficiently absorb radioactive substances from water samples containing these compounds. These specialized particles have large surface areas which allow them to hold more than one type of ion but still keep it there permanently without losing its effectiveness over time due to chemical reactions between different types of atoms inside this particle's crystal lattice. By modifying certain elements on the outer layer of the molecule, we aim to enhance their ability to capture radiation safely while also improving upon other properties like solubility.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution describes different ways to recycle or reuse nuclear resources after use without causing environmental concerns like pollution. One way involves creating new types of nanocomposite particles called Nanoparticles, which offer unique advantages over existing technologies due to its ability to absorb radiation safely during reprocessing. Additionally, these NPAs provide important benefits including improved efficiency in extracting rare metals, reducing emissions associated with fossil fuel combustion, preventing dangerous conditions caused by weapons systems, improving the quality of life for individuals who require them, and promoting sustainability through green house construction.

Abstract

The invention discloses application of a two-dimensional transitional metal carbide nanosheet as a radionuclide adsorbent. Due to the fact that two-dimensional transitional metal carbide nanosheet MXene material has an absorption effect on radionuclide, the two-dimensional transitional metal carbide nanosheet can be utilized as the adsorbent for absorbing radionuclide.Compared with other inorganic nanometer adsorption material, MXene material, featuring a nano layered structure, can effectively increase adsorption capacity of radionuclide. In the meantime, storage space of the adsorbent is greatly reduced due to large density of MXene material.Accordingly, MXene material has potential application value in the field of irradiated fuel reprocessing, control over radioactive pollutants discharged by a nuclear power station, a hospital, a factory and others.
