Nano Porous
Nanoporous is an advanced filtration medium specifically designed for effective iron removal from water. It is composed of pumice granules (4-6mm size) and lime, blended and dried to create a porous and chemically active material. Nanoporous features a highly porous structure that provides an extensive surface area for adsorbing impurities, particularly iron. The addition of lime enhances the chemical interaction with dissolved iron, raising the water’s pH and promoting the formation of insoluble iron hydroxides, which are then captured by the pumice's pores. This dual-action mechanism ensures superior filtration, allowing Nanoporous to efficiently trap and remove iron contaminants, resulting in clean and safe water output.
Key Features
- • Porous structure: High surface area for enhanced adsorption.
- • Chemical action: Lime component aids in iron precipitation.
- • Durable: Withstands repeated filtration cycles.
- • Environmentally friendly: Composed of natural materials.
Applications & Uses
- Water treatment plants Nanoporous is ideal for systems requiring efficient and reliable iron filtration, with a sustainable and long-lasting performance.
- Household water filtration systems Efficient and reliable iron filtration for domestic use.
- Industrial iron removal processes Reliable and sustainable long-lasting performance for industrial applications.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Material Used | Pumice granules (4-6 mm size) mixed with Lime |
| Pumice Properties | Size: 4-6 mm Porous High surface area for adsorption |
| Density of Pumice | 0.6 - 0.9 g/cm³ (lightweight, porous structure) |
| Surface Area of Pumice | 10 - 30 m²/g (dependent on porosity and particle size) |
| Lime Properties | Alkaline substance Increases water pH to facilitate iron precipitation |
| Filtration Capacity | Approx. 1-2 mg of iron removed per gram of pumice-lime mixture (depends on water quality and flow rate) |
| Filtration Mechanism | Adsorption: Pumice adsorbs iron particles due to its porous structure. Chemical Precipitation: Lime raises pH, leading to the formation of insoluble iron hydroxides (Fe(OH)₃). |
| Chemical Reactions | Fe²⁺ + OH⁻ → Fe(OH)₂ (ferrous hydroxide) | Fe³⁺ + OH⁻ → Fe(OH)₃ (ferric hydroxide) |
| Filtration Efficiency | Removes iron in the form of ferric/ferrous hydroxides. The efficiency improves with proper drying and surface contact |
| Filtration Steps | Use the dried mixture as a filtration medium for water with high iron content. |
| Applications | Iron removal from drinking water. Treatment of well or borehole water with high iron content |
| Maintenance | Replace or clean the filter media regularly to ensure optimal performance. |
| Advantages | Cost-effective, Environmentally friendly, Simple to apply |
| Potential Limitations | Requires periodic replacement or regeneration. May not remove other contaminants effectively |
