01Scientists have developed a new type of water purification material

According to Xinhua News Agency, recently,An international research team led by Kyoto University in Japan is conducting a study on nature in the UK·According to a report in the Journal of Communications, the commonly used water purification materials mainly rely on small pores in the material to adsorb ions, or exchange purified water through the interaction of ions in the material and ions in water. But these water purification materials are often difficult to balance removal efficiency and selective removal of target ions. Researchers have found that some animals and plants cleverly utilize proteins that selectively bind to specific heavy metal ions to protect themselves from heavy metal ion toxicity. For example, plants use intracellular chelating peptides to selectively capture heavy metal ions such as cadmium contained in groundwater absorbed by roots and trap them in vacuoles.


Researchers were inspired by this and designedI got itA synthetic polymer that possesses the same functional groups used by plant chelating peptides to bind with heavy metal ionsCan selectively capture large amounts of toxic heavy metal ions in water,bringPurification of industrial wastewaterThe greatly improved ability is another major advancement in environmental technology.
