Sorption

Enhancing air and water quality across the world. We manufacture a range of zirconium-based hydroxides with unique and versatile sorption capabilities, used for improvement of air and water quality in a range of environments.

Key features

Zirconium hydroxides exhibit a high surface area and unique surface chemistry, enabling efficient adsorption of pollutants and contaminants from a range of air and water-based environments.

Zirconium hydroxide has an amphoteric nature, exhibiting a large number of acidic and basic sites. This results in specific interactions with adsorbates, ensuring strong binding and in some cases a transformation of harmful species.

Using a range of manufacturing platforms and processing technologies, we can modify properties such as particle size, porosity, moisture content and dopants to suit every application.

Zirconium hydroxides are capable of adsorbing a wide range of pollutants, including heavy metals, organic compounds, and gases. This versatility makes them valuable tools for addressing various air and water quality challenges
