Titanium Dioxide Based High Capacity Absorbent Media

Titanium dioxide is a widely available compound that can be mined from minerals in the ground and is commonly found in food as whitening additives and in sunblock products. TITANSORB ™™ a new advanced Wonder Adsorbent that can remove Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Chromium (VI), Lead, Selenium and many other heavy metals and produces Clean-Water. With its superior bacteria killing capabilities, it can also be used to kill bacteria in water. Watch-Water® have succeeded in developing a high capacity, revolutionary Adsorbent that can do all the above mentioned at very low cost compared to other Titanium dioxide based existing technology. The breakthrough, which has taken Watch-Water® five years to develop the Double Capacity Titanium dioxide crystals into Patented Adsorbent. TITANSORB ™™, such a low cost Adsorbent is expected to have immense potential to help tackle ongoing Global Adsorbent Market in Arsenic and Environmental issues of Arsenic Removal

Patented TITANSORB ™™ media used for commercial, municipal, bottle water, mineral water is capable of removing arsenic, selenium, uranium, radium, molybdenum, nickel and other heavy metals. TITANSORB ™™ has several advantages to existing adsorbents based on aluminium or iron hydroxide Medias. TITANSORB ™™ has the fastest mass transfer kinetics, and this results in very short EBCT’S. Lower the EBCT, lower the capital cost of the equipment. EBCT of 30 seconds is absolutely acceptable for of TITANSORB ™™. Granules of TITANSORB™™ are so strong that system almost has no pressure drop. Media is washed and results in no under mesh. TITANSORB ™™ surface has very large pore sizes and large pores in TITANSORB ™™ media permits rapid intra-particle mass transport, this allows for very short EBCT’s of seconds instead of more minutes on every other existing adsorbents. Pressure vessel sizes are much smaller than the aluminium based or iron hydroxide based adsorbents.

ARSENIC REMOVAL

If arsenic is detected above the new Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is 5 µg/l, watch this warning “Don’t use this water for drinking, cooking, bathing, or in other consumption ways”. At this time Watch-Water® recommends arsenic removal for residential, commercial, hospitals, schools and all other food service whose city water or well water contains arsenic above 5 µg/l to install a arsenic removal system. Don’t boil your water as a method of treatment. This will result in higher arsenic concentrations in your water. Remember only water evaporates but not contaminants and also not arsenic,

Loading Capacity

To reduce the arsenic concentration from drinking water, there are several short-term (Low capacity) and long term (High capacity) adsorbent solutions. There are three types of water treatment systems to remove arsenic.

1. Point-of-Use (POU) systems treat the water at the kitchen tap.

2. Point-of-Entry (POE) treatment systems for the enire household.

3. Large system for municipaliies serving 100 homes or more.
