This SBIR Phase I project will develop a relatively simple and economical method to separate heavy metals from acidic streams in industry and environmental operations. The project will use techniques for bonding chemicals to an activated carbon carrier to create a metal-ion binding material. These metal ions can be removed by using strong acid solutions while regenerating the material for reuse.The broader/commercial impacts of the proposed project will be the substitution of an inexpensive ion-exchange material for the more costly ion-exchange resins based on polymeric organic compounds. Success in this Phase I project will lead to products that can serve specific applications in the nuclear, industrial, and environmental fields.

该 SBIR 第一阶段项目将开发一种相对简单且经济的方法，用于从工业和环境操作中的酸性流中分离重金属。 该项目将使用将化学品粘合到活性炭载体上的技术来创建金属离子粘合材料。这些金属离子可以通过使用强酸溶液去除，同时再生材料以供再利用。拟议项目的更广泛/商业影响将是用廉价的离子交换材料替代更昂贵的基于聚合有机化合物的离子交换树脂。 第一阶段项目的成功将带来可服务于核、工业和环境领域特定应用的产品。
