Lanzhou University’s Frontiers Science Centre for Rare Isotopes has developed a technology that enhances uranium-vanadium separation efficiency by 40 folds .

This breakthrough can selectively capture uranium ions over vanadium ions.

In seawater, the concentration of heavy metals is extremely low, at just 3.3 milligrams per tonne.

Adapting to large-scale use could secure China a sustainable and independent way of ensuring a dependable uranium supply.
