The new method uses phosphoric acid phosphoric acid, any one of three chemical compounds made up of phosphorus, oxygen, and hydrogen (see acids and bases). The most common, orthophosphoric acid, H3PO4, is usually simply called phosphoric acid. and alcohol to efficiently extract organoarsenic compounds from contaminated soil. The two partners expect that the new method will contribute to the diminishing of environmental contamination caused by organoarsenic compounds.
Going forward, AIST aims to develop soil purification systems that can respond to various types of soil contaminations.
