Photocatalyst bunifu hubadilisha PFAS zenye sumu kuwa vifaa vinavyoweza kutumika tena.

31.12.2024

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking photocatalyst capable of breaking down toxic "forever chemicals" at low temperatures. This process not only addresses environmental concerns but also transforms harmful PFAS into reusable fluoride salts and carbon resources for a more sustainable solution to electronic waste.

Wanasayansi wameunda photocatalyst ya kipekee inayoweza kuvunja kemikali zenye sumu 'za kudumu milele' kwa joto la chini. Mchakato huu haukabiliani tu na masuala ya mazingira, bali pia hubadilisha PFAS zenye madhara kuwa chumvi za floridi zinazoweza kutumika tena na rasilimali za kaboni kwa suluhisho endelevu zaidi la taka za kielektroniki.
