A
new substance Canteaccio PA will effectively treat contaminated water at
Fukushima. It’s a material for adsorbing radioactive elements such as cesium
and strontium. An inexpensive and highly durable adsorbent, Catenaccio PA is a
huge innovation. As its raw materials are low cost it is very easy to make. It also has great acid and alkali resistance. In addition, it can be used in
storage facilities for long periods of time, lasting for at least 30
years before replacement is needed. RISET developed this material after its attention was drawn to the
cation exchange capacity of geo-polymer, an inorganic substance
which is used as a substitute for cement. Noting the material's CEC
level, the researchers decided to make use of this feature.
