  • Patent number: 10930406
    Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid-phase oxidative decomposition method for radioactively contaminated carbonaceous material, providing a method of oxidizing carbon into a gas in liquid phase to treat radioactively contaminated carbonaceous material. The method comprises the following steps: ball milling a mixture of a molybdenum-containing substance and a carbonaceous material, thermally treating the ball milled mixture, and performing liquid-phase oxidation of the thermally treated mixture. The thermal treatment causes carbon to enter space between molybdenum atoms so as to reduce the particle size of carbon and improve the chemical reactivity of carbon, and an oxidant is then used to oxidize the carbon in the space between molybdenum atoms into a gas in liquid phase, while the molybdenum-containing moiety is converted into a water-soluble substance.

  • Publication number: 20100145716
    Abstract: To mitigate global climate change, a portfolio of strategies will be needed to keep the atmospheric CO2 concentration below a dangerous level. Here a carbon sequestration strategy is proposed in which certain dead or live trees are harvested via collection or selective cutting, then buried in trenches or stowed away in above-ground shelters. The largely anaerobic condition under a sufficiently thick layer of soil will prevent the decomposition of the buried wood. Because a large flux of CO2 is constantly being assimilated into the world's forests via photosynthesis, cutting off its return pathway to the atmosphere forms an effective carbon sink.
