Triggered carbon is an extremely helpful absorbent. Because of their high surface area and high levels of surface area sensitivities, triggered carbon can be utilized to cleanse, dechlorinate, deodorize and decolorize both fluid and vapor applications. Furthermore, triggered carbons are cost-effective absorbents for lots of markets such as sprinkle filtration, oil and valuable steel healing […]

If you’re looking for a way to remove unwanted molecules from a solution, GAC (granular activated carbon) is the way to go! Agglomerations of PAC (powdered activated carbon) particles make up this specially processed carbon, and its unique pore structure allows it to selectively remove certain molecules while leaving others behind. We remove the molecules

BMS Limestone is known for its versatility which is useful of home features. BMS Limestone comes in many colors and textures and can be used without interrupting any esthetics. Because its naturally soft, it’s easier to shape, carve and manipulate it. Flooring Limestone flooring or pavers are used in bathrooms, kitchens entryways and mudrooms most

The nature of silica makes it really resilient and difficult to wear out. This implies it is efficient for hot temperatures. Silica is nevertheless restricted in its application. Its distinct nature enables it to be utilized throughout different markets. Silica is easily offered as an inexpensive product. PROPERTIES OF SILICA SAND: The properties of silica include both physical and chemical properties like hardness, color, melting, and boiling point.

We know sandblasting (blasting sand) as rough blasting. It is the operation of forcibly pushing a stream of sandpaper against a surface. Doing it under high pressure smooths, roughens or shapes a surface. There are several variants of the process. Some are highly rough/irritating, whereas others are milder. The most rough are shot blasting and sandblasting. Moderately rough versions include glass bead blasting and plastic media blasting (PMB). They also include ground-up plastic stock or walnut shells and corncobs. Some of these substances can cause severe allergic reactions. A mild version is sodablasting (with baking soda). There are other choices that are barely rough or nonabrasive, such as ice blasting and dry-ice blasting. Sandblasting We know sand blasting as rough/irritating blasting, which is a general term for the process of smoothing, shaping and cleaning a hard surface by forcing solid particles across that surface at high speeds; the effect is just like that of using sandpaper, but provides a more even finish with no problems at corners or crannies. Sandblasting can happen naturally, usually as a result of particles blown by wind causing aeolian wearing away using pressurized air. Sandblasting equipment consists of a room in which we mix sand and air. The mixture travels through a hand-held nozzle to direct the particles toward the surface or work piece. Nozzles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Boron carbide is a popular material for nozzles because it resists rough/irritating wear well. Wet abrasive blasting Wet rough blasting uses water as the fluid moving the abrasives. The advantages are that the water traps the dust produced, and greases the surface. The water cushions the effect on the surface, reducing the removal of sound material. One of the original pioneers of the wet rough/irritating process was Norman Ashworth who found the advantages of using a wet process as a strong other choice to dry blasting. The process is available in all ordinary formats including hand cabinets, walk-in booths, automated production machinery and total loss portable blasting units. Advantages include the ability to use very fine or rough media with densities ranging from plastic to steel and the ability to use hot water and soap to allow degreasing and blasting. The reduction in dust also makes it safer to use siliceous materials for blasting, or to remove dangerous material such as poisonous, radioactive or poisonous products. Process speeds are usually not as fast as ordinary dry rough blasting when using the equal size and type of media. This is in part because the presence of water between newspapers, web sites,

Silica Powder Uses What is Silica? Silica is the name given to the group of minerals that consist of silicon and oxygen (for example, quartz). Its chemical formula is silicon dioxide (a silicon atom and two oxygen atoms), and it is expressed by the chemical symbol SiO2. Quartz is the second most common mineral in

Slow sand filter The slow sand filter is one of three types of sand filters that are widely used in water  purification around the world, namely: Quick Sand Filters Flowing Sand Filters Up Slow Sand Filters First used in the United States in 1872, slow sand filters are the oldest type of municipal water purification.

The difference between ordinary sand and silica sand The difference between ordinary sand and silica sand depends precisely on the standards that silica sand has, if the sand does not meet these standards, it will qualify for what is often called “regular” sand. Silica sand standards Silica sand, also known as quartz sand, white sand,

Volcanic stone powder (pumice) Volcanic stone powder is a pumice stone powder, which is a light, porous vitreous volcanic rock filled with holes caused by some gas bubbles being trapped as it solidifies from the eruption. A pumice stone has many pores, which makes it so light that it floats on water. Most of the

The Importance of Water Filters  Pure water is tasteless, but water is a powerful natural solvent that dissolves minerals that may give it an odor or flavor. Today, people are in dire need of purifying water (water) to make it drinkable, due to the expansion of urbanization and the increase in population density in the
