A way to pull Uranium from seawater

, by Freethink

Uranium occurs naturally in rocks, soil, and water, but is generally extracted at scale from Uranium mines which is considered a finite resource. 

Researchers estimate that there are roughly 4 billion tonnes of Uranium in seawater. But pulling Uranium from seawater with enough efficiency that it makes economic sense is difficult.

Researchers have developed a new technique for pulling Uranium from seawater.

They use Metal-organic frameworks combine metal ions and organic chains linking them together. They also make for excellent sponges.

The team was able to pull 96.3% of Uranium from natural seawater samples in just two hours.

Their technique introduces the concept of extracting Uranium from natural seawater may lead to an unlimited supply of Uranium at an economically affordable cost.

Combined with exceptional selectivity, record capacity, ultrafast kinetics, and long service life, this material could be a potential candidate for the efficient extraction of Uranium from natural seawater.
