Small Particles for Uranyl Ion Removal
- Technology Benefits
- This method is simpler, less expensive and more direct than other current methods of producing removing uranyl from water, ion exchange and reverse osmosis. The technology can also be incorporated into portable field-testing systems, which the other methods cannot.
- Technology Application
- This technology can be used to improve the quality of a water supply by safely, effectively and inexpensively removing uranyl ions from the water. The presence of uranium in groundwater is a growing problem in the United States and one without effective treatment to date. These particles can also be used in portable field systems for analysis of uranyl content on site.
