Abstract:Extracting tritium of parts-per-trillion-levels from water at room temperature was provided using a protonic manganese oxide with a spinel crystal structure under weakly acidic conditions. Indeed, using 0.48 g of the protonic manganese oxide powder led to the removal of 1.75 × 10 5 Bq of tritium in 20 min at room temperature from a test water (100 mL) that contained a tritium concentration of 5.6 × 10 6 Bq/L (i.e., 15.6 ng/L).
