Although, they only had Wu Tong and an assistant working on the research, and the staffing was extremely sparse, but a project like this, let alone one that had already produced targeted results, was just a concept. With such results, who could say it wasn't a top-secret, major national project when applying for approval?
Top-secret research that could change China's current predicament and turn waste into treasure! Just based on the progress already made, he's already come up with countless ways to use it!
When it comes to large projects, the person in charge of such a project is definitely worthy of being called Mr. Wu.
"Brother Xu, just call me Wu Tong!" It's just a small team of two people, and calling him Mr. Wu is so embarrassing!
"Mr. Wu, public is public and private is private. Due respect is necessary. I am the first person to start your team, and I have to set an example for others in the future!" It must be said that being the first person made him very proud.
"Okay, Brother Xu, whatever you like!" It was just a name, and Wu Tong didn't mind it.
After a few words of small talk, she returned her attention to the experiment. At this point, a sufficient amount of pollutant solution had been added to the measuring cup of the heating instrument, and Wu Tong added an appropriate amount of honeycomb strong oxygen crystals.
The national government has clear regulations on the level of pollutants in tap water, which are harmless to the human body. To better test the ultrafiltration membrane, Ruan Chengxu later conducted purification experiments. While still using tap water for laboratory drinking water, he also collected a large portion of wastewater from specially commissioned, highly contaminated water sources with heavy metal concentrations.
The ultrafiltration purification membrane can still exert the same ultrafiltration effect on highly contaminated water as on ordinary water, without any pressure, which has amazed Ruan Chengxu more than once.
At the same time, the concentration of pollution in the solution he collected was also shockingly high. Wu Tong determined the amount of water to be added based on the concentration of the current turbid and highly polluted wastewater solution.
Seeing the honeycomb strong oxygen crystals dissolve in water instantly, Wu Tong ordered: "Brother Xu, heat the solution to 66-70 degrees and pressurize..." The parameters were reported one by one, and Ruan Chengxu began to operate according to Wu Tong's instructions.
The temperature displayed on the electronic temperature measuring instrument was in place. Wu Tong manually moved the robotic arm and placed the powered electrolytic magnetic rod against the surface of the solution. It was visible to the naked eye that many light blue honeycomb strong oxygen-gold oxides shining with golden light were adsorbed on the surface of the electrolytic magnetic rod!
Wu Tong moved the robotic arm and transferred the electrolytic magnetic rod to the tray on the other side where the test paper was laid out. Wu Tong removed the power, and the electrolytic magnetic rod was demagnetized. The fine particles of powder adsorbed on the magnetic rod instantly detached and fell onto the test paper.
Wu Tong turned on the power again, and the light blue honeycomb strong oxygen crystals were once again adsorbed out of the mixed powder by the electrolytic magnetic rod, and carried to the other side to maintain a directional constant temperature and pressure solution.
And now, only some golden powder remained on the pure white test paper.
"Brother Xu, perform a gold test!" The fact that the electrolytic magnetic rod didn't attract the golden powder was already a first step in verification. However, further laboratory testing was needed to determine whether it was gold.
"Got it, testing now!" Ruan Chengxu didn't dare to breathe. He carefully transferred the golden powder on the test paper into a small test tube and began to test it step by step. This was gold. It was like they were performing magical alchemy, extracting gold from the waste and troublesome polluted water. It was a miracle!
Everyone knows that natural water resources are contaminated by heavy metals, but now, in the miracle created by Wu Tong, pure water molecules are separated out, and pure metals can be separated and extracted from the remaining wastewater. This is a miracle that many people and even countries have dreamed of.
Wu Tong continued the cyclic operation, changing different voltage and temperature parameters, starting from gold and silver, to copper, lead, zinc, iron, nickel, manganese, cadmium..., and gradually extracted various heavy metals contained in the water, fully verifying the powerful temporary ability of honeycomb strong oxygen to seize the strong-oxidation reaction.
As Wu Tong separated and extracted, Ruan Chengxu's metal verification tests were also carried out simultaneously, and the results were gradually emerging. The powders they separated and extracted were indeed gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc... various metal powders. With each extraction by Wu Tong, the metal reaction of the metal in the polluted wastewater was almost zero...
Such a powerful separation and extraction effect made Ruan Chengxu, who was simultaneously recording the data and experimental operations, feel that the word "shocked" had become numb, but he was still amazed again and again. Wu Tong had created a miracle.
After step-by-step extraction experiments, the heavy metal reaction in the polluted water source was infinitely close to 0. At the end of the experiment, Wu Tong designed to add a certain amount of N18 prepared in advance. Under the irradiation of special ultraviolet light waves, all bacteria were killed and the remaining organic and inorganic pollutants were converted into directional gas. Finally, the remaining water passed through the ultrafiltration purification membrane again, completely achieving a relatively perfect cycle and no waste state.
However, the current experimental equipment is not perfect. This step of the test was actually done before at the 624th Institute by Tao Ran's team. Wu Tong has the data, so it will not be carried out here.
Speaking of Tao Ran, he's another talented individual in the field of molecular chemistry, and Wu Tong is itching to poach him. She'll go back and find out what Tao Ran's salary and situation are like there. If the opportunity arises, she'd really like to invite him to her team. She'd worked with them before, and it was a great rapport. They're even more receptive to new ideas than some older engineers.
Success?
Ruan Chengxu looked at the row of test tube racks in front of him. The small test tubes corresponded to corresponding labels. Each tube represented a pure metal powder that was harmful to the human body but was of great importance in industry. The excitement in his heart was beyond words.
Yes, they succeeded. They solved another major global problem, even transforming harmful pollution into a natural mineral resource useful to China. They no longer have to suffer the troubles and torment of pollution, and the country has gained a significant amount of resource reserves.
Even more, with flexible application, those poor ores that are difficult to mine and extract can be crushed, and honeycomb strong oxygen can be used to extract useful mineral powder, which can be directly used in production. The crushing process can be omitted, and the extracted mineral powder will be purer and free of impurities.
There's also the question of converting seawater into freshwater resources. Can sodium chloride from seawater be extracted in this way? Have they quietly overcome this challenge? Has the expanded utilization of seawater resources become a reality?
Even though Ruan Chengxu had already anticipated Wu Tong's abilities, the level of achievement Wu Tong achieved once again surprised him. He was shocked for a long time. He personally participated in and witnessed the birth of a scientific research result that could be called a miracle.
