READE offers a new ion exchange material developed for NASA called CRYSTAL 2100. It removes multiple cationic metals simultaneously: Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd, Fe, Mn, Hg, Co, and Ag
- Water filtration and purification media
- Removes multiple organic Cationic metals
- Reduces effluent metals below permitted standards
- Applicable to industrial processes and contaminated waters
- Adaptable to natural streams, ponds, and lakes
- Wide range of pH
- Applicable metals: Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd, Fe, Mn, Hg, Co, Ag
- Technical data and papers available from: Johns Hopkins University
Key Qualification Tests Performed:
A) NASA & Johns Hopkins Plating Tests
"NASA and Johns Hopkins University collaborated with a plating company to run field tests on a plating company's zinc-plating bath. The tests show a very high uptake of zinc as well as a high capacity for cadmium and copper. A key was finding that the brighteners and carriers did not adversely effect the uptake of the zinc by Crystal 2100".
B) NASA Multiple Metals Testing
"NASA conducted tests with a wide range of metal ions including cadmium, mercury, copper, zinc, nickel, uranium, lead, and silver. Other tests were successfully conducted to remove lead and copper to below drinking water standards. This report shows that Crystal 2100 was extremely effective in multiple metal applications".
C) U.S. Navy Test of Removing Lead From Seawater
"Under the supervision of Johns Hopkins University, the United States Navy ran extensive and conclusive tests aboard naval submarines. Crystal 2100 completely removed the lead from the seawater, both effectively (below 30 ppb) and rapidly".
D) U.S.E.P.A. and NASA Munitions Site Clean Up
"Crystal 2100 outperformed leading competitors in uptake speed, product capacity, and life cycle effectiveness. It was proven that Crystal 2100 does not take up calcium, therefore having more sites available for metal removal. This also meant a faster uptake of metal ions. After 5 life cycles, Crystal 2100 showed little if any drop off in its effective metal removal capacity. This gave Crystal 2100 a longer life and a higher operating efficiency".
E) U.S.E.P.A. Barrel Experiment
"Comparison testing of Crystal 2100 versus IRC 718. This shows that Crystal 2100 removes metal ions more rapidly, has higher loading capacity, and shows high operating efficiencies after regeneration."
