The Founder of LCW, President Chien Wai, especially highlights the cost-efficiency of these materials and utters that even the “waste yarn” can be used to make the fibers.
Mr. Chien Wai seized up the vial holding the initial gram of the “yellowcake,” the form of the power uranium that has been extracted from the seawater.
In one part of a study, an ordinary yarn was adapted chemically just to convert it to the substance that might adsorb the uranium from a sea and then a fiber was then processed to have that yellowcake. These investigators implicitly declared that a signature of the project was a yarn should be cleaned to have it reused for several times.
This particular method shows to be more efficient and improved compared to getting uranium by some other kind of methods like the polymer mats were being applied to draw out the atoms of the U of a liquid, and the usual land-based techniques.
These researchers emphasize that a PNN laboratory was so important in these procedures, as the group there helped assessed and test the products and the technology properly. The fibers absorbency was judged through these exclusive tests, by using water volumes of water coming from the Sequim Bay, which was pumped to a tank; a yarn that extracted a metal by the chemical bonding of it to the molecule. Finally, post-processing of the yellowcake or the 5 gram of uranium oxide was obtained.
