海水有望点亮万家灯火
从海水中提取原料,竟能点亮万家灯火——是不是有些天方夜谭?但对科学家来说,这并不是遥不可及 的梦想,而是可控核聚变技术为人类描绘的美好未来。 日前,记者来到安徽合肥,走进未来大科学城,被科研人员探求人类"终极能源"的尝试深深震撼。 "太阳之所以发光放热,是由于其内部不断进行的核聚变反应。"在聚变创新展览馆,中国科学院合肥物 质院等离子体物理研究所团委书记叶华龙介绍,他们研究的可控核聚变技术就是借鉴太阳发光发热的原 理,让氢的同位素氘和氚结合,从而持续稳定释放出巨大能量。 氘和氚,就来自海水——氘可以从海水中直接提取,氚则可以通过氘和锂反应产生。 那么,一升海水能有多大能量?叶华龙说,从一升海水里面提取原料发生核聚变所释放的能量,可与 300升汽油相当。 核聚变能的好处还有很多。过去几十年发生的核灾难让不少人谈核色变。"核聚变却不同,一旦条件失 效,反应会瞬间停止,就像关掉水龙头一样安全,不存在核泄漏、核辐射风险。"叶华龙介绍。 原料丰富、清洁低碳、安全高效,大众口中所称的"人造太阳",也被科学家视作人类"终极能源"。 在中国,这项"逐日"工作,已经持续了半个多世纪。近几年,科研人员进行的这场聚变发电接力赛不断 ...
