Nano to begin drilling next week in Illinois
It’s been a good month for Nano Nuclear in the state of Illinois. On October 7, the Office of Governor J.B. Pritzker announced that the company would be awarded $6.8 million from the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles in Illinois Act to help fund the development of its new regional research and development facility in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook.

The ability of various solid adsorbents to adsorb tritium from tritiated water was studied. The tritium removability and adsorption ability of mesoporous silica (MCM-41) were found to be larger than those of conventional microporous zeolites such as mordenite (MOR) and Linde-type A (LTA). The different adsorbents can be arranged in order of tritium removability and tritium adsorption ability as follows: MCM-41 > LTA(5A) > high-silica MOR [approximately equal] low-silica MOR [approximately equal] LTA(4A). The adsorbents can also be arranged in decreasing order of the separation factor () as follows: MCM-41 > LTA(5A) > low-silica MOR [approximately equal] LTA(4A) > high-silica MOR.
