AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on Wistar rats to examine how plutonium (253Pu) metabolizes when combined with tributylphosphate and certain organic solvents.
  • It was found that using tributylphosphate along with trichlorobenzene and H-paraffin led to a significant increase in plutonium accumulation in the rats' bodies, doubling the levels observed early on.
  • The research highlights the impact of these chemical combinations on the body's ability to absorb plutonium through stab-wounds.

Article Abstract

The experiments on Wistar rats were undertaken to analyze metabolism of 253Pu in combination with tributylphosphate and organic solvents of trichlorobenzene and H-paraffin entering the organism through stab-wounds. It was shown that the combination of tributylphosphate with the above substances increased the levels of plutonium accumulation at the early stage of investigation twice as much.

The pollution of natural waters by contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) is one of the pressing problems due to their global distribution and potential negative effects on the environment and human health. In rural areas with lower population density and limited industrial development, less contamination is expected. However, the lack of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) or their poor removal efficiency can lead to significant input of pollutants.

High-efficiency recovery of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries: Optimization of SO pressure leaching and selective extraction of trace impurities.

The recovery of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for environmental protection and resource optimization. In the traditional recovery process of spent LIBs, the leaching of high-valence metals has the problems of high cost and limited reagent utilization, and some valuable metals are lost in the subsequent purification process of the leaching solution. To reduce the cost of reagents, this study proposes the use of low-cost SO as a reagent combined with pressure leaching to efficiently recover high-valence metals from delithiated materials of spent LIBs, while selective solvent extraction is used to remove trace impurities in the leaching solution to avoid the loss of valuable metals.
