Company USA

Water treatment

- Chemically Surface Modified Gel technology, selectively removes heavy metals from water using a unique nanopore reactive adsorbent structure that combines the superior adsorption capacity of open-channel silica, which has a surface area between 50 to 100 m²/g, and the ability to reduce heavy metal ions to metallic form, to deliver superior capacity, selectivity and speed.

- The technology is synthesized by combining freshly produced silica gel with molecular recognition functional groups and can be used in standalone form or as part of an existing operating system.

- By integrating the adsorption and reaction functions and utilizing a powerful yet cost-effective recipe, the company has created a high-potential platform technology that will impact a variety of niches within the multi-billion dollar water treatment market, including the recovery of precious metals such as palladium, gold and silver and the removal of highly toxic elements such as mercury to trace levels to comply with strict environmental regulations.
