Material filters tritium from nuclear wastewater at record speed using which type of framework?
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that have shown promise in selectively capturing and removing tritium from nuclear wastewater, outperforming traditional methods.
The research team, from across China, achieved this using which type of material?
The team used metal-organic frameworks to achieve the breakthrough in tritium filtration.
Work on which Nobel Prize-winning discovery was used for this research?
The research team used the Nobel Prize-winning discovery in chemistry to develop metal-organic frameworks for tritium filtration.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: A metal-organic framework is used to filter tritium from nuclear wastewater at record speed. Statement-II: This achievement was made possible because of research on the metal-organic framework that won the Nobel Prize for chemistry last year. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is supported by the text, which states that a metal-organic framework was used to filter tritium from nuclear wastewater at record speed. Statement 2 explains why this achievement was possible, as it mentions that research on the metal-organic framework won the Nobel Prize for chemistry last year.
